... the Beautiful Salmon River Gorge of California
bound in granitic walls ...

Because the river is relatively unknown, the only comprehensive information I have found has been from rafting sites. The site for the Klamath National Forest is very sparse. One bit of information I have come across though states that the river is bound in granite. However, being an amateur geologist, I cannot go with this freely. Granite is very sparce in North America. Most of the time the stone people call Granite is Grandiorite. So I'll go with the adjective granitic until I know more. :-)

Travel northern California. See the Marble Mountains, the Salmon Mountains, the beautiful Salmon River, Sawyers Bar, the best living mining town, the magnificent Salmon River Gorge. Raft the river, try your hand at mining and/or fishing. Hike the Russian Wilderness and/or the Marble Mountain wilderness in the beautiful Klamath National Forest. Or simply enjoy yourself sightseeing.
