View of most of the Upper Cottonwood Creek camp, although several tents are uphill behind the camera. The large cylindar beyond the kayak is a boiler from the steamer Imnaha that supplied the mines at Eureka, shortly upstream of the Snake/Salmon confluence, in 1903. It broke up in Mountain Sheep Rapid (Class II) after a line fouled it's paddle wheel and set it adrift. A Google search gets various articles including one in the Wikipedia.
