Never freezes because of all the surrounding thermal events and there are swans everywhere in it during the winter because it stays so open!

There is decent fishing from a drift boat and easy access to good wade fishing. Beautiful scenery and nice camping spots along the way.

Wow - what a marvel! The yellow canyon with the rushing waters of the river and the steam rising up is a site you won't soon forget.
