Get out of town! No, really. Need a little vacation from everyday life? The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest provides premium “unplug and unwind” opportunities. The four million diverse acres offers breathtaking scenery, wildlife viewing galore, ample hiking and backpacking trails, and basically any outdoor activity you can imagine. Whether you’re lookin’ for a cozy cabin escape, a family reunion getaway, or to explore the backcountry, folks of all strokes will be pleased with the array of overnight accommodations. From the dry rugged canyons, to the moist cedar forests. to the rolling uplands, the varied landscape is home to a myriad of animal inhabitants. Known for their wild character, nearly half of the forests are designated wilderness. Ready for some ragin’ rapids? The forests are home to three rivers, popular among adrenaline junkie floaters—the Selway, the Lochsa, and the Salmon. Whatever your MO, there’s a way to relax and recharge at this National Forest!

It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.
