For many
centuries this beautiful territory has been the home of the Nez Perce Indians. In 1805
when the Lewis and Clark expedition "re-discovered" the rugged country, they
found friendly faces, miles of tree-covered mountains, whitewater rivers, rolling hills
and pristine lakes. Today these features still exist. This geographical region overlaps
the states of IDAHO, WASHINGTON and OREGON. This unique mixture of
untouched beauty and western hospitality awaits your personal discovery. The eight major
routes described offer a myriad of activities, events and points of interest.

The largest concentration
of wilderness areas in the lower 48 states.

whitewater rivers in a 6 county area.
