The trifecta that is the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley in the Inland Northwest.

On the west side of the Snake River is Clarkston, which was originally named Jawbone Flats. Under its current name, in homage to William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the town was incorporated in 1902. The east side of the Snake River, is where Lewiston is located. The town was established in the early days of the Gold Rush and was the first capital of the Idaho Territory from 1863-1864 when the capital moved south to Boise. Like its counterpart on the other side of the Snake River, Lewiston was named for Meriwether Lewis, of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Asotin, the county seat for Asotin County is just south of Clarkston, and the third and smallest portion of the valley. The town got its name from the area’s native dwellers, the Nez Perce Indians. Asotin is derived from the Nez Perce language term meaning eel creek. It was founded in 1878 and became a river ferry stop in 1881.

Together, these three towns offer endless possibilities for recreation and culture. In 2009, Outdoor Life magazine rated Lewiston No. 1 out of the top 200 Towns for Sportsmen. As if that’s not enough to brag about, Lewiston’s oldest neighborhood of Normal Hill, where Lewis-Clark State College has its main campus, was named one of the “Best Old House Neighborhoods 2011: The West and Northwest,� by This Old House.

But the valley is most known for its outdoor living. The greenbelt of the Clearwater and Snake River National Recreational Trail follow the Snake River from Highway 129 at Clarkston to Chief Looking Glass Park at Asotin. The paved trail offers 16 miles of landscaped pathways connecting Asotin, Clarkston and Lewiston.

Moscow on State Highway 8 leads you across the Palouse and into the timber, through the towns of Troy, Deary, Helmer and Bovill. Once you leave Bovill heading toward Elk River you are on the scenic Elk River Back Country Byway (www.idahoby ways.gov/byways/elk-river.aspx) that ends at Orofino on U.S. Highway 12.

Travelers who continue north out of Moscow on U.S. 95 will want to make a stop in the historic company town of Potlatch.

Scenic 6 Park, located in Potlatch, is a great place to visit any time of year and offers both an RV Park and tent camping. For rates and more information on camping at the park call (208) 875-1117.

There is plenty to do in Potlatch with two walking tours for history buffs: “A Walking Tour of the Potlatch Commercial District” and “A Walking Tour of Potlatch Neighborhoods.” Pick up your free tour guide document at city hall. These publications are offered by the Potlatch Historical Society.

Back at the U.S. 95/195 split — following the highway on the Washington side (Highway 195 North) promises to provide just as much history and incredible scenery as U.S. 95 does on the Idaho side.

Traveling north on U.S. Highway 195 will take you to Pullman, home of the Washington State University Cougars. Pullman can also be reached from Moscow on State Highway 270 (also known as the Pullman-Moscow Highway).

The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail is located between Pullman and Moscow along State Highway 270 and is open dawn to dusk year-round. The seven miles of smooth pathway is for all ages and abilities. Trailheads are located in Pullman on Bishop Boulevard behind the Quality Inn and in Moscow across from the Palouse Mall.

First opened in the early 1800s as an agricultural college, Washington State University is still well known for its agriculture department. The college opened with five teachers to teach 29 students and 63 preparatory students; now it draws an ethnic and culturally diverse student body and offers more than 150 undergraduate majors and 100 master’s and doctoral degrees. Big-name comedians, rock, jazz, and country western stars and bands can be seen from one of the 12,000 seats at the Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum located on the WSU campus. Ballet and operatic touring companies, symphonies and soloists also perform throughout the year. Coming performances and more information is available at (509) 335-1514. For tickets call (800) 325-SEAT (7328). One of the most popular spots on campus is the WSU Bear Center, where researchers study grizzlies. There are no formal tours, but the bears are often seen playing, foraging and doing bear stuff within the enclosure.

Leaving Pullman on Highway 195 North takes travelers to Colfax, the county seat for Whitman County.

The town is rich in history and proudly displays that history in ways such as the Codger Pole — called the “Most unusual attraction in Colfax” in Off the Beaten Path, a guide to unique places, the 65-foot chainsaw sculpture commemorates the turning of the tide as it were.

The sculpture carved from five red cedar logs captures a grudge match football game played 50 years after the original game on the same field, by the same players. Rival, St. John, won the original 1938 game but Colfax got the last laugh with a victory at the rematch in 1988. The likenesses of the team members are carved on the poles, occupying a

prominent spot just off of Main Street. The sculpture was carved by artist Jonathan LaBenne of Idyllwild, Calif. Also part of Colfax’s deep history is the Perkins House. Registered as a National Historical Site, this 1886 home built by James A. Perkins is now owned and operated by the Whitman County Historical Society and is open for tours from 1-4 p.m. Thursdays and Sundays, April through October, or by appointment. It is also available for private use.

Continuing north from Colfax another 60 miles will bring you to Spokane, home of big city entertainment with a small town feel and topped off with amazing outdoor opportunities at every turn. Spokane really can lay claim to having it all with a gorgeous flowing river running right through the heart of the city and cultural diversity matched by no place else in the Inland Northwest, this town is an every man kind of place.

While visiting Spokane there are more than a few must sees, starting with the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, a Smithsonian-affiliated museum, which features five exhibition galleries that highlight regional history, the arts and American Indian culture. Tours are available at historic Campbell House, built in 1898. The Museum is located just west of downtown Spokane in the beautiful Browne’s Addition Historic Neighborhood.

And don’t forget to head down to River Front Park nestled in the downtown area next to the mighty Spokane River where you can shop, eat or see an IMAX movie.

Centennial Park, a gathering place for locals, boasts one of the best small baseball fields in the state of Idaho. The park is located next to the former rail line, which is now a walking and bicycling trail for the community that connects Juliaetta to its sister town, Kendrick.

Thomas Kirby founded the town of Kendrick in 1889. It was known as Latah or Latah City in 1890 when Northern Pacific Railroad promised to extend its track through town. On the basis of that the name was changed to Kendrick in honor of James P. Kendrick, chief engineer of Northern Pacific. The town was incorporated later that year. This tiny town hit its peak population in 1910 when there were 543 Tribune/Barry Kough residents.

Heading South to the

Picturesque Camas Prairie

Tribune/Barry Kough

Cooler fall weather birngs with it some moisture-heavy clouds oating over the prairie.

Whatever you are looking for in a vacation or a weekend getaway, you’ll ďŹ nd it in towns to the south of Lewiston.

Driving south on U.S. Highway 95 you can stop at the Clearwater River Casino or any number of historical sites before you reach the Nez Perce National Historical Park at Spalding.

The Spalding Visitor Center houses many tribal artifacts such as clothing, head wear, regalia, horse tack, woven bags and intriguing personal items. Historic photographs cover the auditorium walls, where a 23-minute movie, “Nez Perce: Portrait of a People,� is shown. The park, which was established in 1965, grew from 24 sites to 38 in four states in 1992 when Congress expanded it. The Visitor Center can be reached at (208) 843-7001 for more information.

From Spalding, U.S. 95 follows Lapwai Creek through Lapwai, Sweetwater and Culdesac before it begins to climb the Winchester Grade. The grade is a mecca for rail enthusiasts and owners of railroad speeders, with its 3 percent grade. There are more than 40 wooden trestles, some of them hundreds of feet high, between Spalding and Cottonwood, most of which are visible from the highway.

south

Camas Prairie rolls to the horizon. Camas was an important food for the Nez Perce Indians, and in spring its blue flowers give the impression of a huge lake.

The next stop on this journey south is Craigmont, with a population of just more than 500 people, this town is one of the youngest in the region. It is named for Col. William Craig, a mountain man and the first permanent white settler in Lapwai in 1838.

This rural community survives on an agricultural- and tourist-based economy. The town became Craigmont when the towns of Ilo and Vollmer, separated by the Camas Prairie railing, merged to form one community.

Craigmont is close to many types of recreation. In a short distance you can be on the shores of two of the best Steelhead and Salmon fishing rivers in the Pacific Northwest. With the Salmon river to the south and the famous Clearwater River to the north, the Prairie that lies between is also home to record-book white tail deer and elk hunting.

This small town doesn’t shutter its doors just because the season has changed, as made evident by the Christmas in the Pines event held in the picturesque setting of this prairie town each November. And who could miss the Breakfast with Santa event held in mid-Decemeber each year, just to name a few of this charming town’s fall and winter offerings. More events can be found on the Greater Craigmont Area Chamber of Commerce’s website, www.craigmontareachamber. com/.

Among the camas is the town of Cottonwood where numerous recreation activities are available.

The world’s largest beagle greets visitors from just off the highway at Dog Bark Park. Sweet Willy Colton, the 30-foot-tall beagle, has been featured on cnn.com, among other places, and is a bed and breakfast that sleeps six. Willy, Toby and a menagerie of critters are on display, all carved by chain saw artists Dennis J. Sullivan and Frances Conklin, (208) 962-DOGS (3647).

Continuing west on U.S. 12, between Pomeroy and Dayton, there is a short Tribune/ Kyle Mills detour worth taking. Turning north onto State Route 261 leads to one of the most

impressive and least known examples of modern geology. The Palouse River follows a course scoured out by a flood 12,000 years ago, when a 2,000-foot tall ice dam broke in western Montana, what is now the Missoula Valley. Palouse Falls plunges 200 feet into the pool below. The 105-acre state park offers camping and a view of the awe-striking waterfall.

Heading back to the highway, your travels west will lead you to the superlative small-town America — Dayton, Wash.

With a population of just more than 2,500 people according to the 2010 U.S. Census, it is known for fine dining and historic buildings.
