Memaloose (OR): Memaloose Airport serves as a gateway for aerial firefighting in the Hells Canyon National Forest and for pilots looking to explore the remote and scenic areas of Hells Canyon.

Big Bar (ID): This airstrip has been a key access point for backcountry enthusiasts and river users. Volunteers from the Idaho Aviation Association have maintained it over the years, ensuring its usability for pilots.
Salmon Bar (OR): Known for its challenging conditions, this airstrip is located in a steep-walled canyon. It is recommended for experienced pilots due to its narrow runway and potential for turbulent air.

You’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the Snake River below and the expansive wilderness surrounding it. This spot offers a peaceful and grounding contrast to the thrill of backcountry flying. Don't forget to walk to the top of the tower for a memorable selfie!
