Coolwater Lookout Road near Kooskia Idaho

Several times a year, during summer and fall, I load up  my ATV and ride up the Coolwater Lookout Road near Kooskia, Idaho.  It’s about a 12 mile ride and begins near the confluence of  Idaho’s Lochsa and Selway Rivers.  The vegetation changes from heavy fir and cedar forest to open sub-alpine with a change of elevation of over 5000 feet.  In July and early August the Ridge will be covered with multi-colored wildflowers.  It’s also a great place to pick Idaho’s wild Huckleberries…mmm Huckleberry pie!  The Selway Crags rear up to the East, with the Bitter Root Mountains way off in the distance at the Montana/Idaho State line.  To the West is Grangeville, Idaho and the Camas Praire with the Blue’s forming a backdrop over Washington and Oregon.  I like to pull up a rock and sit for hours drinking it all in.  How about you?  Check us out @ www.myidahocountry.com
