What’s your favorite river? We’re fortunate enough to be surrounded by many beauties and if you’re into photography Save Our Wild Salmon has an easy contest to raise river awareness and promote our rivers. You have until April 30th to send them a photo of your favorite river and as an incentive they will feature of a photo on their blog each week and giving away some Mountain Khaki’s. All you have to do for submission is upload your photo to the Save Our Wild Salmon We Love River FlickrPool and make sure your photo has a title and a description of why it’s your favorite river.

According to Save Our Wild Salmon, the answer is the Snake River, pictured below courtesy of their blog.

Its headwaters begin in the wildlands of Wyoming, fed by meltwater from the Tetons, and its waters flow through the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and the Palouse prairies of Eastern Washington before feeding into the mighty Columbia River.

But what makes the Snake River even more impressive? It is home to the legendary Snake River sockeye. Snake River sockeye have the most epic migration path of any salmon on Earth — swimming more than 900 miles inland and climbing 7,000 feet in elevation to spawn in the rugged Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho.
