The Shoshone Pithouse – Middle Fork of the Salmon River near Sun Valley, Idaho is the photo below. It is not actually from the Middle Fork but is a good picture of what the pithouses were like for the Shoshone in the Canyon. We see many pithouse depressions throughout the entire river corridor. We camp near them almost every night of the river trip.
We hope to see you in Stanley.
