Great place near Pullman/Moscow
Nice plot of land with a few good camping spots and a really nice picnic area, good for driving but sometimes there are logging trucks. Only once spot is noticably logged, most of it is scenic

| History of the Area: |
| This 5,300-acre park was given to the state of Idaho in 1955 and is dedicated to the memory of frontier women and the hardships they endured. The ridgeline park offers spectacular views of the Palouse prairie which reflects the ever-changing agricultural patchwork of the valleys bordered by surrounding forested foothills.
Skyline Drive is an 18-mile-long gravel road that traverses the park, providing access to 32 miles of multipurpose trails. A series of interpretive signs on the historical and land-management aspects of the area are located throughout the park. Facilities include a group day use shelter, three primitive camping areas and four roadside picnic areas. No water or trash facilities are available.
The park may be entered at DeSmet by taking DeSmet Road to King Valley Road, or by using Skyline Drive from US 95. If your vehicle is longer than 28 feet, we recommend you avoid this drive.FAQ's |
