Around the Forest

Hells Canyon National Recreation Area sits at the western edge of the forest. Two miles southwest of Cottonwood on Keuterville Road, you'll come across the Historical Museum of St. Gertrude's. Located on the grounds of the Monastery of St. Gertrude's, the museum is worth the stop — over 12,000 artifacts reveal the complexities of early pioneer history in this region.

Nearby towns include Lewiston, Moscow, McCall, Cottonwood, and Riggins. Riggins lies deep in a canyon and calls itself the"narrowest little town in the country".
