Did you know Hells Canyon is the deepest canyon in North America? At some points, its depth is more than 8,000 feet. That’s more than half the height of the Empire State Building!

The best way to explore this natural wonder is with a jet boat tour. There are so many benefits to exploring the canyon in this way.

If you’re looking for reasons to go to Hells Canyon, read on. We’ve put together this article to explain why a jet boat tour is the best way to see it.

It’s a Great Way to Stay Cool

It may not be as hot as the fires of the netherworld, but Hells Canyon can get pretty humid at times. Hiking the trails beside the canyon can be pretty punishing and on a hot day, you might find yourself struggling to keep cool.

When you’re on a jet boat, there’s no need to worry about the heat. You’ll feel the spray jumping up onto your face, providing the perfect antidote to the hot sun.

On the other hand, we’ll ensure you stay warm if you’re traveling in the colder months. Our boats are equipped with curtains and heaters during the winter.

It’s Super Convenient

A jet boat ride through Hells Canyon isn’t just a lot of fun. It’s also the most convenient way to travel through the area.

The terrain around the canyon is pretty unforgiving with few access points for travelers, especially around Hells Canyon dam. The rough nature of the water means boating and rafting can be somewhat difficult. The control and maneuverability of a jet boat make it by far the best way to negotiate this tough canyon.

If you’re planning on staying a night or two, a boat is by far the most convenient way to get around.

You’ll Get Up Close and Personal With Local Wildlife

Hells Canyon is packed full of amazing wildlife. There are hundreds of species, ranging from birds to amphibians around the dam. If you’re keen to get up close and personal with all kinds of creatures, riding a jetboat offers you an excellent chance to do just that.

Bass, steelhead, chinook salmon, and many more species of fish can be seen in the pristine waters of the canyon. When you’re zooming through on a jet boat, you’ll benefit from clear sightings of many of the local aquatic species as well as birds flying overhead and mammals like elk and goats by the banks.

When you book a tour with us, you’ll also see plenty of wildlife on the way to the starting point. We offer a convenient shuttle bus from our base in Pittsburgh, offering you an excellent chance to observe local scenery and wildlife.
