Tukeespe Hike

Tukeespe is a wildlife area outside of Cavendish Idaho and is managed by the Nez Perce Tribe.  It's located on Cream Ridge, which divides the Louse Creek drainage (to the north) and the Clearwater River Canyon (to the south).  Louse Creek Canyon is a spectacular gorge, plunging steeply from the Tukeespe grasslands.  We love visiting this area and are extremely grateful that the Nez Perce Tribe has made this accessible to visitors. The trails are primitive and are infrequently used.  It's a nice opportunity to explore a spectacular area in solitude.
