God Bless you for doing what you do!!!! I love dogs too but if I had one for 8 months there is no way I cold give him up!!!

I'm embarrassed to say I have lived in Idaho all my life and still pass through Riggins several times per year and have never visited Seven Devils. But I would like to take my wife but she NEEDS her 18' trailer!!! Could I make it up there towing that?

The sign says trailers not recommended so of course I hauled my little trailer up It didn't say "no trailers" and I think horse trailers regularly make the trip. Now my trailer body is only about 6'. I think it is possible to get up there, the tightest spots are probably in the campground, it is a short shelf road to get the last 1/2 to camp. You might want to keep the trailer down below and just run up to take a look from the overview and check the road for yourself. I will say I was very happy to have my recently added additional trans cooler. I wasn't paying the attention I should have and when I did look the temps were getting up there so I just locked it in second and by then I was nearly at the top anyway. Without it might have been hotter than I like, it is about a 5000' climb in 16 miles with switchbacks.

And here is a thread that might pertain to your bike:

Dang those were some cuts! Must have hit a jagged blow down or something at speed.

That is kind of what I figured. A couple weeks before he was running crazy and ran into my trailer tongue at speed, let out a yelp from that but was good to go pretty quick. I was thinking he could have broken some ribs on that one. Kind of wish I had a little bit of his energy

I love dogs and people that take good care of them. Good job and nice trip report.

Thanks for the nice trip report! More spots to add to the lists!

Thanks all! Hell's Canyon is a pretty cool area. Big for rafting, I just hit one spot, went for elevation as it was pretty warm, still had snow up there, beautiful little lakes. Be interesting to explore the Oregon side as well. And the pooch is doing well
