Clearwater National Forest

Located in north-central Idaho, lies the Clearwater National Forest. The forest comprises 1.8 million acres that ranges in elevation from 1,600 to nearly 9,000 feet. The Forest is composed mainly of deep forested canyons interspersed with high, rugged ridges. The weather is characterized by distinct seasons.

From Orofino, State Highways 8 and 11 will lead you to the north part of the forest. State Highway 12 is a 200 mile long route to Missoula which accesses the southern part of the forest.
