Scenic Beauty · Rich History · Amazing Recreation
The Pierce-Weippe Chamber of Commerce
in North Central Idaho invites you to experience all that our area has
to offer. The journey along Idaho's Highway 11 Gold Rush Historic Byway
takes you from the crossing of the Clearwater River at Highway 12 in Greer,
through the rolling wheat fields and camas prairies of Fraser and Weippe,
into the wooded Gateway to the Clearwater National Forest Backcountry
of Pierce.
The scenery is breathtaking, with numerous hills, mountains,
forests, valleys and rivers to delight any photographer. There are plenty
of historic sites to experience, including the site where the starving
Lewis and Clark Corp of Discovery met the Nez Perce Indians on the Camas
prairie after crossing the Bitterroot Mountains. In addition, 10 miles
north, you can visit the oldest town in Idaho - Pierce, a gold rush town
which is home to the oldest courthouse in the state. For the outdoor enthusiasts,
the area offers everything you could desire: big game hunting, fishing,
hiking, ATV trails, downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and
camping.
So, take a moment to explore our site to view the numerous
opportunities available. After that, drop us a line and we will mail you
visitor information, which includes maps and sources for food and lodging
during your stay. Then, head on up to the "Hilltop" and experience
all the beauty, history and recreation for yourself...we know you will
not be disappointed! And if you are like others who have stopped in, you
will soon be looking for a way to stay.
Thanks for stopping by...and enjoy!
