Etymology
According to Carrey, Conley and Barton in their book Snake River of Hells Canyon, most of the early explorers referred to the gorge as "Box Canyon" or "Snake River Canyon", though a few locals called it the "Grand Canyon of the Snake". The first reference to Hells Canyon appears in an 1895 edition of McCurdy's Marine History of the Pacific Northwest. In discussing the voyage of the steamboat Norma, the author writes: "She then bounded off, swinging into midstream and, like a racehorse, shot into the Hell Canyon…". The name was used by the Mazama Hiking Club in their 1931 bulletin. Bailey's book Hells Canyon was published in 1943. In the 1950s the name "Hells Canyon" was borrowed from Hells Canyon Creek, which enters the river near what is now Hells Canyon Dam and Senator Richard Neuberger of Oregon used it in several publications.
