Central Idaho is where Lewis and Clark crossed the rugged
Bitterroot Mountains into the land of the Nimiipuu Indians
(Nez Perce Tribe). In addition to a landscape rich in
history and natural beauty, Nez Perce people share their
customs and culture in colorful events throughout the year.
Here you can enjoy unspoiled country of crystal-clear
rivers, lakes, and streams, majestic forests and high
mountains. Don't miss Hells Canyon National Recreation Area,
North America's deepest river gorge, where you will find
over 650,000 acres of beauty and outdoor adventure. Carved
by the great Snake River, Hells Canyon plunges more than a
mile below Oregons west rim, and 8,000 feet below
snowcapped He Devil Peak of Idahos Seven Devils
Mountains. World-class whitewater rafting, hiking, horseback
riding, fishing, and abundant wildlife are popular
attractions. You may even find artifacts from prehistoric
tribes and rustic remains of early miners and settlers |
