Best views of the Palouse

You can drive to the top of Steptoe Butte; it's one of the highest places in the area. From the top of it you will see for 70-90 miles in every direction. It really gives a spectacular view of this uniquely hilly area called the Palouse. This is one of the most fertile regions in the U.S. producing the most wheat per acre. This is about 45 minutes from our farm.

Sightseeing

This is about an hour and a half away, but worth the trip. It has a nice picnic area and then miles of trails along the creek with several falls. Very scenic and beautiful!

This is one of our favorite places and is about an hour away! This big ole cedar tree is 18 feet in diameter and about 177 feet tall. It is one of many in this particular grove, and just happens to be the largest this side of the Continental Divide! It feels very prehistoric back here in this forest with giant ferns. You would think a pterodactyl might fly by! You can find this cedar grove about 11 miles on a gravel road from Elk River, ID. While in Elk River be sure to check out the Elk River Lodge and General Store and get yerself a huckleberry soft serve ice cream cone—so refreshing! Ask them for directions to the giant cedar!

This a fun hike amongst a grove of big trees with a creek running through it. It's not far from Moscow and it's a pretty short and easy trail.

Our favorite places for great food

All of these places have been found personally tried and true by our very own tummies. There's a LOT of good places to eat in Moscow!
Yum! One of our favorites! We love their ribeye and our kids love their hamburger. It can be a little pricey, but worth it! A fun thing to do is ask to sit at the place near the grill and watch the chef work his magic.

You will need to drive 30-40 minutes from Moscow to get here, but VERY worth your while! Keep in mind that they close at 3 pm on weekdays, 5 pm on Saturday. Great place for lunch or early dinner. Some of the best pizza around. Some of the best food around. Some of the best pie around, some of the best cheese around (made on the premises). You get the idea!

Parks and hiking

This park is just a 1/4 mile down the road from us. It has playground equipment, huge fields for baseball and games, picnic tables and pavilions in a wooded area. There are hiking trails too. It's claim to fame is that the park was deeded to the city of Moscow in 1936 by Frank Robinson, the fellow who founded Psychiana, a mail-order religion based out of Moscow. Originally the park had a dam to provide the area with Robinson Lake. It has since been drained.
