The Bruneau River runs through a narrow canyon cut into ancient lava flows in southwestern Idaho. The Bruneau Canyon—up to 4000 feet (1220 meters) deep and 40 miles (64 km) long— features rapids and hot springs, making it a popular whitewater trip. The Paiute Indians originally discovered the canyon centuries ago.
