Day 21: Hells Gate State Park and Lewiston Overlook

We dropped down from the high plain into Clarkston and Lewiston. A twin city, Clarkston is on the West bank of the Snake River and is in Washington State, Lewiston is on the East Bank of the Snake River and is in Idaho. The twin towns are named after the famous explorers Lewis and Clark as they passed this way in 1805 and again in 1806 when they returned to the East. We found out later that by the time they got here they were in canoes.
We stopped in the Hells Gate SP alongside the Snake River, a campground built by the Corps of Engineer and run by the State Parks of Idaho. We relaxed here for three nights, The park is very well laid out and has Mule Deer roaming freely caught up on shopping and the blog, Roy and Anne did some exploring up the Snake River and Sally went across the Clearwater River and drove up Lewiston Hill and then drove down again on the Old Spiral Road to get a fabulous view of the twin towns and the three rivers.
