The Salt River is an 84-mile-long (135 km) river draining a valley in Lincoln County in western Wyoming. It is named for several exposed beds of salt and briny salt springs of up 60% pure salt in Idaho that drains into the Salt River via Stump Creek. The Salt River valley was a popular destination for Indians and later pioneers seeking salt and game. The headwaters of the river are below 10,472-foot (3,192 m) Mount Wagner in the Salt River Range. The river flows west out of the mountains and then northward along the border of Wyoming and Idaho. It passes 6,600-foot (2,000 m) Smoot, Wyoming and then meanders through the mostly agricultural Star Valley, being joined by numerous creeks along the way, to its confluence with the Snake River near the town of Alpine (elevation 5,600 feet (1,700 m

  • The Salt River is an 84-mile-long (135 km) river draining a valley in Lincoln County in western Wyoming. It is named for several exposed beds of salt and briny salt springs of up 60% pure salt in Idaho that drains into the Salt River via Stump Creek. The Salt River valley was a popular destination for Indians and later pioneers seeking salt and game. The headwaters of the river are below 10,472-foot (3,192 m) Mount Wagner in the Salt River Range. The river flows west out of the mountains and then northward along the border of Wyoming and Idaho. It passes 6,600-foot (2,000 m) Smoot, Wyoming and then meanders through the mostly agricultural Star Valley, being joined by numerous creeks along the way, to its confluence with the Snake River near the town of Alpine (elevation 5,600 feet (1,700 m)). The Salt River watershed drains about 890 square miles (2,300 km2) of the western part of the Salt River Range in Wyoming and the eastern part of the Caribou Range of Idaho. The Greys River, draining part of the eastern side of the Salt River Range, joins the Snake River just a few miles east of the mouth of the Salt River. About halfway along its course, the Salt River passes through a section known as the "Narrows", where it cuts between two ridges that divide Star Valley into an upper and lower valleys. The river's mouth is now inundated by the reservoir of the Palisades Dam in Idaho during high water. Paralleling the Salt River is Wyoming Highway 89 leading north to Teton and Yellowstone National Park. The river is an excellent source for fly fishing for brook, rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. The state ranks the Salt River Class 2 (red) – Very good trout waters – fisheries of statewide importance. (en)
  • Солт (англ. Salt River) — река в США, в северо-западной части штата Вайоминг. Левый приток реки Снейк. Длина составляет около 135 км; площадь бассейна — около 2300 км². Берёт начало в районе горного хребта Солт-Ривер, вблизи горы Вагнер (3192 м). Течёт сперва на запад, а затем главным образом в северном направлении, вдоль границы Вайоминга и Айдахо. Впадает в Снейк недалеко от города Алпайн, в нескольких милях ниже по течению от устья реки Грейс, на высоте 1714 м над уровнем моря, в районе водохранилища Палисейдс. Бассейн реки Солт включает западную часть хребта Солт-Ривер и восточную часть хребта Карибу. (ru)
  • Salt River är en 135 km lång flod i Lincoln County i västra Wyoming i USA. Namnet Salt River kommer från de saltbäddar och saltkällor som finns vid flodens västra biflöden i Idaho, och som redan av ursprungsamerikanerna användes som saltbrott. Floden har sin källa på sluttningar i och rinner därifrån västerut ut ur bergen, innan den vänder norrut och flyter genom Star Valley nära delstatsgränsen mot Idaho. På vägen passerar den genom eller i närheten av orterna , , Afton, , , , , Thayne, Star Valley Ranch, och . Nära staden Alpine flyter den ihop med Snake River och rinner ut i . U.S. Route 89 löper parallellt med floden på dess östra sida under större delen av flodens sträckning, och sammanbinder orterna i området. Floden har ett stort bestånd av öring, regnbåge och bäckröding och är därför populär bland sportfiskare. (sv)
