Overlooks
Travelers driving FR
517 from Riggins,
Idaho to Heavens Gate Overlook also see
grand views of the Seven Devils Mountains.
Buckhorn Lookout
FR 46, which cuts
through the northwest corner of the scenic area, leads to Buckhorn
Lookout and several remote camping areas, from the town of Enterprise
(41 miles). Stopping points along this road provide spectacular views of
the Wallowa Canyon and Hells Canyon.
Heavens Gate Overlook
FR 517 leads to
Heavens Gate Overlook, arguably the best viewpoint for Hells Canyon,
from the Idaho town of Riggins. The steep and winding road takes several
hours to ascend.
Back roads are best
traversed by 4x4, but most can be accessed by high-clearance cars during
good summer weather (June-October). Vehicles towing trailers should be
cautious when traversing back roads. Some backroads are narrow and
involve steep, unprotected cliff areas. Roads at higher elevations may
be icy or difficult during weather.
Hells Canyon Overlook
FR 39 and FR 3965
will take you to the breathtaking vistas of Hells Canyon Overlook, a
5,400 overlook of. Seven Devils Mountains, and Hells Canyon.
