Only 12 miles from the Montana border in northeastern Idaho along the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway and All American Road (US Highway 12), visitors can enjoy a break from their travels by taking a stroll on down this accessible interpretive trail and memorial to Bernard DeVoto: a conservationist and historian of the American west. The Devoto Grove Picnic Area and Trailhead offers visitors 2 loops through stands of ancient western red cedar trees (some over 2000 years old!), views of the Lochsa River, picnicking and a chance to take a walk back in time--come and take a look for yourself and experience what it was that Mr. Devoto found so magical about this place.
The trail on the south side of the highway is a paved, wheelchair accessible path.
