Camas Prairie Driving Tour
Camas Prairie Driving Tour
Your journey begins in Grangeville and the hub of the Camas Prairie. Traveling north on Hwy 95, you will experience the Camas Corridor's rolling landscape. Over 100 years of cultivation have created a patchwork quilt of wheat, canola and oat fields. If you are lucky enough to drive this route in late May, a blue sea of camas blooms will greet you. The camas bulb was a favorite and major food source for the Nez Perce Indians.
Throughout your journey, four wilderness areas and four national forests are within your reach, totaling about 5.5 million acres. The route takes you through the community of Cottonwood and on to the timbered areas of Craigmont and Winchester.
Total distance: 40 miles
Suggested time: 1 hour
