There was, naturally, a temptation to call it the Magnificent Seven, but that seemed to smack of hyperbole. No sense in getting people’s expectations up, as this ain’t exactly Elves Chasm. It is what it is — no adjectives required. The Seven graces the north side of the inner gorge at the mouth of Ninetyone Mile Creek, between the Horn Creek and Salt Creek rapids. (Is it mere happenstance that ninety-one is evenly divisible by seven? We don't think so!) Nearby landmarks include Isis Temple to the north and Dana Butte to the south. According to Google Earth’s data, the top of the Seven is roughly 1,100 feet above river level, and the Seven itself is 240 feet from top to bottom. Its composition is unknown — but typographically speaking, think of it as a 200,000-point numeral in the Batang or Goudy Old Style fonts. | ||||
