The panoramic sunsets will take your breath away. Whether you're at the top of the Lewiston Hill overlooking more than 2,000 feet above the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake rivers, or the depths of Hells Canyon, the views are aweinspiring and dramatic. Known as the Gateway to Hells Canyon, the Lewis Clark Valley has long been a meeting place. It's where Idaho meets Washington, Lewiston meets Clarkston and Asotin, the Clearwater River meets the Snake River, and where Lewis and Clark met the Nez Perce. It's where you will meet the adventure of a lifetime with all the recreational and cultural offerings.
A must-see is Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge. Our region is filled with recreational opportunities for jet boating, white-water rafting, swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking and camping. Miles of levee pathways follow the rivers for walking, jogging and biking. We’re called the “Banana Belt” of the Pacific Northwest because of the mild climate that allows for year-round golfing but only a short drive away from snow skiing and snowmobiling. This area is also rich in history and you will find yourself taken back in time to learn about how
Lewis and Clark engaged in diplomatic exchanges with the native Nez Perce tribal chiefs. A walking tour through beautiful downtown Lewiston's historical district will shed light on its early years during the gold rush and the era of steamboat travel. Also, part of our history, and now a large part of our future, is the re-emergence of the wine industry. The Lewis-Clark Valley American Viticultural Area is Washington and Idaho's newest wine region.

LEWIS CLARK VALLEY VISITOR GUIDE
NEWEST WINE REGION Planted in 1872
" M Y C A N D I D O P I N I O N I S T H AT T H I S I S T H E B E S T P L A C E I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S FOR GRAPE GROWING ... [AND] THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE THE LEADING INDUSTRY HERE." -ROBERT SCHLEICHER
Washington and Idaho's newest wine region is receiving many accolades for the wine produced here, as well as recognition for being one of the best places for real estate investment in vineyards. Explore the local wineries, taste for yourself and take some home to share with friends and family. Vines were planted in the Lewis-Clark Valley as early as 1872. Varietals such as Petit Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc were cultivated.
8
By 1908, 40 varieties of grapes were being cultivated. Two years later, Lewiston voted a ban on alcoholic beverages and the industry crashed. Most of the wine was turned into vinegar and winemaking virtually disappeared until the late 1990s. Today, winemakers in the LewisClark Valley are using locally grown grapes to create wines that compete on the national market. In 2016, the Lewis-Clark Valley became an official
AVA (American Viticulture Area). With steep river canyons and plateaus within the AVA, it is home to the lowest elevation vineyards in the state that are successful in ripening a wide variety of wine grapes. The Lewis-Clark Valley AVA is home to 16 vineyards growing more than 81 acres of grapes growing approximately 20 unique varietals. LEARN MORE  lewisclarkwine.com

THE CALL OF THE WILD In Our Backyard
FIND YOUR FAVORITE FISHING HOLE Few places offer the variety and accessibility of outdoor diversions that are found right in our backyard. You don’t even have to leave town to find some of the best fishing spots for trolling, spinning, bait casting and flyfishing. Five public boat ramps and two marinas are located within a few miles. The spring and summer month’s fast action catch is bass, trout and spring chinook. During the fall it is steelhead. The canyon has a healthy number of North America’s largest fresh water fish, the great white sturgeon, which can reach lengths up to eight feet. You can’t take one home but catching one could be the highlight of your trip. The biggest steelhead fishing derby in the region is held every November during Thanksgiving Week. Organized
12
by the Lewis Clark Valley of Chamber of Commerce, the Snake-Clearwater Steelhead Derby offers more than $10,000 in cash and prizes. (Fishing derby is held annually dependent upon permit approval by Idaho Department of Fish and Game). You can fish on your own or engage the services of a local outfitter to take you to the hottest fishing spots.

BIKE THE VALLEY Whether you’re a road bicyclist, mountain biker or casual rider, the Lewis-Clark Valley and surrounding region has a trail for you. Many road cyclists bike through our area and along Highway 12, a scenic highway that closely follows the Clearwater River. LOCAL TIP Check out the bike route map on pages 20-21, or pick up a pocket-sized map at the visitor information center.
Originally constructed in 1917, the Old Lewiston Grade (Spiral Highway) has generated many stories attributed to its many curves and switchbacks. Replaced by the current highway more than 30 years ago, the 8-mile Spiral Highway has become famous for the challenge it presents to participants of the “I Made the Grade” annual bicycle race. The race climbs from the river’s edge to the top of the valley, and attracts riders from throughout the region.

LEWIS CLARK VALLEY VISITOR GUIDE
ADVENTURE IN HELLS CANYON The Lewis-Clark Valley is the gateway to Hells Canyon, world famous as North America’s deepest river gorge. Hells Canyon is a remnant of the last ice age, and was formed by the flowing waters of the 1,000-mile long Snake River. The canyon measures a mile and a half from the river bottom at Granite Creek Rapids to the tallest mountaintop. The headwaters of the Snake River start in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and traverses six states. It crosses southern Idaho, then turns north to form the boundary between the state of Oregon, finally entering Washington and turning southwest to end its travels in the wide embrace of the Columbia River. Hells Canyon is a name given to the section of the mighty Snake River
18
which stretches from Hells Canyon Dam northward for 75 miles to the Washington-Oregon border. It is largely
inaccessible except by river craft. When Congress passed the Wild and Scenic River Act in 1975, 31.5 miles of the river from Hells Canyon Dam to Upper Pittsburgh Landing were
designated “wild.” It is designated “scenic” for 36 miles above Pittsburgh Landing. The earliest boats to travel into the canyon were sternwheelers from 1860 to 1910. Wild and rugged with many rapids, the canyon is primarily accessible today by jet boat and inflatable raft. Outfitters and tour guides will point out the canyon’s Indian petroglyphs, a myriad of wildlife, abandoned mines and homesteads. The region was once home to the Nez Perce who occupied Hells Canyon for thousands of years, 150 archaeological sites have been identified. The most vivid evidence of the early inhabitants lies at Buffalo Eddy; a scattered group of petroglyphs bearing 240 different designs. The

Be Inspired.
Some of the newest pieces can be found in downtown Lewiston. Enjoy the fountain in front of the Lewiston City Library, the benches and bike racks that double as art and the mosaics on the 5th Street pedestrian bridge. LOCAL TIP Don't miss Beautiful Downtown Lewiston's annual Art Walk the first Friday in October.
The North Lewiston Gateway Project, provides artwork that can be appreciated as you drive into Lewiston from the north and east. Artists David Govedare and Keith Powell created a series of statues depicting the meeting of Lewis and Clark and the Nez Perce
22
people. Three bronze statues, created by Shirley Bothum, depict Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Sacajawea. They are located at the intersection of Highway 12 and 21st Street. In the center of Lewis-Clark State College campus is a representation of the explorers meeting Chief Twisted Hair. The wooded setting depicts the Clearwater region with waterfalls and native plants. Other bronze figures include Nez Perce women gathering food. The Tsceminicum sculpture is located on the Lewiston side of the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake rivers. It interprets Nez Perce mythology with a symbolic Earth Mother figure whose
body sustains all forms of life, and from whose hands the rivers run. The wildlife and legends depicted on the eastfacing wall are those of the Clearwater River and its tributaries; on the west face are those of the Snake River. The central “Trickster” character of Indian legend, Coyote, keeps watch from the north end of the wall. FIND MORE UP-TO-DATE ART visitlcvalley.com
