202 miles of the Lewis and Clark trail through the ancestral homeland
of the Nez Perce people, this National Scenic Byway, All American
Road - www.nwpassagescenicbyway.org and Northern Rockies Top
10 Scenic Drive - www.drivethetop10.com, takes travelers from
Lewiston Idaho to Lolo Pass on U.S. Highway 12. At Kooskia the
byway splits with a stem running south on Idaho 13 to Grangeville
and the Camas Prairie. This national treasure follows the middle fork
of the Clearwater River past the confluence of the Selway and Lochsa
rivers, then up along the Lochsa Wild and Scenic River to the pass
between Idaho and Montana.

Cataldo to St. Maries and Potlatch; 83 miles. Aptly named as the
largest stand of white pine in the country lies along Idaho 6 in the St.
Joe National Forest. And Potlatch was once site of the largest white
pine lumber mill in the world. Highlight at the northern end (I-90)
is Cataldo mission, Idaho’s oldest building still standing. This byway
passes lush forests past lakes and marshlands to the St. Maries and St.
Joe rivers. Full services in St. Maries. See www.idahobyways.gov
Orofino to Boville via Elk River; 57 miles. It’s mostly gravel from Elk
River to Orofino. A great back road to see forests and wildlife. From
Orofino: Wells Bench road from Idaho 7, cross the North Fork of the
Clearwater at Dent Bridge, then to Elk River where it joins Idaho 8
to Bovill. It is maintained year round, but isn’t recommended for a
winter drive! Be sure to stop in Elk River for a burger, cold drink or

From St. Maries to Avery is 47 miles of paved road along one of the
most beautiful rivers in the region, also the world’s highest navigable
river. For the more adventurous, between May and November
(depending on snow) the byway extends another 42 miles of gravel
road to the Idaho-Montana border. East along the St. Joe River, watch
for bald eagles and osprey. At first deep and still, at St. Joe City, the
river becomes shallower with more rapids. You’ll see (lr catch) Dolly
Vardins, rainbow, cutthroat and other species of trout.

208 miles criss-crossing southeastern Washington. Of all byways in
the Two Degrees NW region, this is the longest because its network
of roads cross each other. Rolling hills abundant with wheat, pea,
lentil, mustard seed and canola crops paint this land in shifting
colors each season (early to mid summer is best for bright yellows
and deep greens). The Palouse’s hilly farmlands (drive backroads
linking Rosalia, Oaksdale, Palouse, Colfax or Tekoa) and channeled
scablands (east on 26) were all carved some 13,000 years ago when
Lake Missoula glaciers dissolved into floods raging up to 20 miles
wide and 600 feet deep! Whitman county activists won Washington
scenic byway designation for these roads following Indian and wagon
trails in 2003 and now aim for federal status. See map, etc., at

“The Nez Perce called it “Tsceminicum,” the confluence,
the meeting place, of the Clearwater and Snake. Every
spring the water churned and growled, scouring the
canyons, and every autumn the water receded, flashing
with the slicing fins of the salmon returning to breed
and die. Two centuries ago, a different people came to
the confluence and dreamed of a tamed river, safe for
transport, and even a seaport.”

Background
In 2007, a group of economic development, arts and
tourism professionals dreamed of creating a trail guide
to the cultural sites, experiences and businesses of the
greater Palouse region—the area between 45 and 47
degrees latitude in north central Idaho and southeastern
Washington. UI Extension, the City of Moscow, the
Clearwater Resource Conservation & Development
Council and Two Degrees Northwest are partnering to
make that dream a reality. The guide will lead residents
and visitors to the unique assets of our region—the
people, places and products that distinguish this region
from Anywhere USA. Listings in this guide were selected
for authenticity and quality, providing eligible local
businesses with an exclusive advertising opportunity.
