Many many years ago we drove Idaho Rt 12 up the Clearwater River to Lolo pass. This trip we decided to do that again as it is really gorgeous country. We picked up Rt 12 yesterday and followed it into Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA.
The lower portion of the river is quite tranquil.
This funky old railroad bridge served a large sawmill at Kamiah. It looks as though it might once have swiveled to allow river traffic though we saw no signs that there is any today.
As we followed the river up towards Lolo Pass there was more and more whitewater.
This is a very historic route. Lewis and Clark came this way on their way West and Chief Joseph brought his Nez Perce tribe North through here on their futile attempt to evade the pursuing army unit and escape to Canada.
Tomorrow we plan to visit an old Montana ghost town.
