Follow the Snake River as it slithers through this canyon, North America’s deepest gorge! Visit the Weippe Discovery Center to learn about the expedition for discovery of Lewis and Clark and their interaction with the Nez Perce people as they made their way across the region over 200 years ago! From jagged rock gorges cut through the middle by sprawling rivers to state parks covered in thick green forests hiding stunningly clear lakes, North Central Idaho is the perfect natural playground!
