Potlatch Canyon Trail #765
What was once an old railroad bed just down the road from the town of Deary, Idaho, is now the delightful Potlatch Canyon hiking trail. This trail is an amazing place to experience colorful wildflower displays, take in views overlooking the canyon, stroll in and out of the shadows created by towering cedar trees and ponderosa pines and experience the panoramic views awaiting you in wide open meadows--you might even catch a glimpse of a moose!
