The Frank Church-River of No Return wilderness covers a vast swath of Idaho's rugged mountains and scenic river canyons. The protected area includes the Salmon River Mountains and the river for which they were named, as well as a section of the Clearwater Mountains and the Bighorn Crags. It lies in north central Idaho, northeast of Boise. The Salmon River Canyon is one of the deepest in North America.

The wilderness area is more than 2.36 million acres - the largest of its kind to be located in the lower 48 states. "River of No Return" refers to the Salmon River. In the early days of Idaho's settlement it was possible to float a small boat downstream along the river, but not possible to navigate upstream given the fast water and numerous rapids.

The wilderness also carries the name of Frank Church - the Idaho legislator who was instrumental in its creation.
