Epic Adventures

Winding through nine tunnels and over seven high steel trestles, the 15-mile route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana.

There are only two places in the world where you can find emerald star garnets - India and right here on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests!

One of the most popular trails in north Idaho leads to the highest point in the Idaho Cabinets, sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille, and frequent mountain goat encounters.

The Pulaski Tunnel Trail leads hikers to the Nicholson mine adit - better known as the Pulaski Tunnel - where “Big Ed” Pulaski saved all but six of his 45-man firefighting crew during the Great Fire of 1910.

The "Shadowy" St. Joe River flows down the western slopes of the Bitterroot Mountain Range from its headwaters at St. Joe Lake near the Idaho/ Montana state line. The river offers many miles of scenic and recreational opportunities.

The 240-acre grove is dominated by a dense canopy of large western red cedar with a carpet of lady fern. A half-mile interpretive trail explores the towering giants before connecting with a larger trail system. 

Surrounded by natural, forested beauty, this 25,000-acre lake offers clear, blue waters, world-class fishing and islands with unique, boat-in camping opportunities.

Located on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests at the Idaho/Montana state line, roughly halfway between Spokane, Wash. and Missoula, Mont. Access is via Interstate 90 at Exit 0.
