Ocean to Idaho

Mile 432: Dams

Welcome Donnelly Elementary School in McCall Idaho! They’re following along because the 5th graders are raising Chinook salmon this year. Fun stuff! Now to the serious stuff.

Before we migrate further inland with salmon swimming from the ocean to Idaho, we need to stop right here and look at the 8 dams we just passed within our 850-mile journey. Where they are, what they do and why they’re a red flag for salmon migration.
