	Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was created in 1980 by the United States Congress as the River of No Return Wilderness Area, and renamed in 1984 as the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area in honor of Senator Frank Church.
		The ranges are split by the steep canyons of the Middle and Main forks of the Salmon River.
		The Salmon River is a popular destination for whitewater rafting, and is colloquially known as the "River of No Return" for its swift currents which makes upstream travel difficult.

	Travel: Back from the River of No Return
		The Salmon River, originating in northeastern Idaho near the border with Montana, is swollen with snowmelt from four mountain ranges.
		At the 24-bed River of No Return Lodge, there is no electricity -- propane lamps put out minimal illumination but notable heat -- the walls are of pressed wood-chip paneling, and the entertainment shelf includes a box of dominoes, a set of horseshoes, Ping Pong paddles and the game of Uno.
		There is no electricity, the beds are sleeping bags on bunks in dorm-style rooms, and there is no indoor plumbing; the toilet is an outhouse.

	Idaho Whitewater Rafting Information
		The Middle Fork of the Salmon is 98 miles of free-flowing river in the heart of the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness, originating 20 miles northwest of Stanley, Idaho, with the merging of Bear Valley and Marsh Creeks.
		The river moves through a variety of climates and land types; from alpine forest to high mountain desert to sheer rock walled canyon; the third deepest in North America.
		Hiking from the river campsites offers a taste of the wilderness experience and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the past and present inhabitants.

	River Dolphins of No Return - National Zoo\| FONZ
		River dolphins also have small eyes, and those that live in the Indus and Ganges Rivers are essentially blind because their eyes lack lenses.
		The Yangtze River dolphin is called the baiji, which means “white dolphin.” An estimated 5,000 once lived in the middle and lower reaches of the river from its mouth at Shanghai to Three Gorges.
		The boto enjoys vast stretches of rivers that remain free of dams and pollution, and is found all along the rivers from the deltas to the headwaters, where impassable waterfalls limit its range.

	River of No Return (1954)
		When confronted with the sight of Marilyn Monroe in the 1954 Western River of No Return, I immediately flashed back to a different film: 1956’s Bus Stop.
		No, that flick wasn’t a Western, but it did feature a cowboy, which led to my connection.
		River of No Return appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.55:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Idaho whitewater rafting on the Salmon River, wilderness raft trips on the River of No Return
		The Shoshoni Indians called this river Aggipah ("big fish water") for the Pacific Salmon which migrate 800 miles to spawn at its’ headwaters.
		Early prospectors called it the "River of No Return" because boats leaving the trail and-rail-head at Salmon City with supplies for the canyon down river could not come back.
		We feel that it is important that the outfitter is on the river throughout the season rather than on the desk.

	Styx: The River of No Return
		If a god gave his oath upon the river Styx and failed to keep his word, Zeus forced that god to drink the river water which is so foul that the god would lose his/her voice for nine years.
		The river Styx was guarded by Cerberus, a fierce three-headed dog who patrols the shores of the river Styx, devouring both living intruders and dead spirits.
		There was an other special case: The river Styx was also personified as a nymph Styx, (daughter of Oceanus and Tethys) Styx was the guardian of the sacred oaths that bound the gods.

		The virtues of protecting one's home, and the rightness of killing those who would take it from you, are loudly extolled, but no one in the story appears to notice that the Indians are trying to defend their homes and land from the marauding white men who (like Mitchum) are stealing it right and left.
		Taken as a whole, The River of No Return is light, fluffy fun that just about manages to sustain itself over its running time; at 95 minutes, it even feels a bit long, but after stalling out a bit in the middle, it does manage to wrap things up reasonably quickly at the end.
		The River of No Return's Dolby 4.0 soundtrack gets the job done, though it doesn't present a particularly full surround experience; environmental effects like the rushing water of the rapids are fairly ordinary-sounding.

	River of No Return (1954) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		River of No Return is a textbook Western in many ways, though the shift of focus from the dusty Southwest to the verdant and sparsely populated Northwest changes some of the details.
		No gunfights to speak of, and no cattle barons or rail tycoons, but you get to keep the half-insane prospectors, the saloons, and lots of scenes with horses and hostile Native American tribesmen.
		And while it's straight from the formula, River of No Return manages to be interesting, at least in part because of the life given to the characters by the performers.

		Idaho's Salmon river "The River of No Return"
		The Main Salmon River, which runs west near the northern boundary; and the Middle Fork of the Salmon, which begins near the southern boundary and runs north for about 104 miles until it joins the Main.
		Reaching 6,300 feet from the river bottom, the canyon carved by the Main Salmon is deeper than most of the earth's canyons--including the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River--and this fast-moving waterway has been dubbed the River of No Return.

	[No title]
		The Salmon River slices through the vast granite mass of the Idaho batholith as a knife through a cake, exposing every strata of geologic frosting.
		Trappers, prospectors and settlers later mastered the river, but it was always a one-way sluice that dropped 12 feet for every bone-shaking mile.
		Thus the Salmon became the River of No Return, a label that entered popular culture with the 1954 movie of the same name starring Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable.

		Folded into the back sulcus of what's left of my brain was the knowledge that there's a bike-path where the shoreline used to be (and a Seaway where the River used to be, O Doltish Reminiscor, he muttered, at least partly to himself) and that one can not, now, go scrabbling over the rocky shore.
		No more the reek of rock-dust when the wind is high, and no more the dangerous and real to play in.
		And that River, the King of Rivers, I am sad to say, is no more.

	GORP - A Wilderness Paradise
		Visitors have no problem finding solitude in the backcountry, but the region is remarkably easy to access: with 18 airstrips, boat access on the Salmon River, and 32 trailheads leading from all corners of the wilderness.
		The Salmon is considered the nation's premier family wilderness river vacation because the rapids are playful but not death-defying, the water is deep enough for swimming, and the white-sandy beach campsites are spacious enough to set up a volleyball net or throw a frisbee.
		Perhaps the most treasured river trip in"the Frank," as locals call it, is a week-long adventure on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, also a national wild and scenic river.

	[Chotalist] RRFW Riverwire - RIVER OF NO RETURN MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We endorse Alternative B, but only with the following changes: (1) Managing use on the Middle Fork and Main Salmon rivers: Alternative B is the only alternative that caps use at a level that protects Wilderness character and opportunities for a wilderness experience.
		However, because this alternative continues an outdated and unfair allocation system (60 percent of use is for commercial trips), and allows for overly large party sizes (19 per group) it unnecessarily limits the number of public boaters who can float these rivers.
		The Forest Service should cap river use at the level set in Alternative B, but increase the number of trips available to the public by reducing group size limits to 12 per trip, and by allocating a much larger percentage of the launches to the public, rather than commercial users.
