KooTENAI CouNTRY
FOR MANY OF US, vacation is about discovery.We seek places that are rich, rare and
remote. Kootenai Country is such a place. Deep, old-growth forests abound with elk, deer, moose
and bears. There are enough songbirds here to keep birders peering through binoculars for days.
Giant cedars like the ones at Ross Creek Cedar Trail reveal the forest’s ancient story. And there
are vast stretches of wild lands, like the Cabinet Wilderness, where one could spend days with
only the views for company.
Of course, discovery doesn’t mean seclusion. The first visitors, drawn here for furs, timber and gold, established
communities that remain as individual and magnetic as the characters who founded them. For proof, spend time in Eureka, Libby,Yaak or Troy, where you’ll find friendly people and rich history. Better yet, time your trip to coincide with a local festival, like Libby Logger Days, Black Powder Days or Eureka’s Rendezvous, and experience our past, today.
Regardless of what you do in Kootenai Country — climbing the cliffs along Lake
Koocanusa, biking the Yaak, fishing the Kootenai, photographing fall color, snowmobiling
into the mountains, or antiquing on Main Street — it is sure to be a wonderful discovery.
