In the heart of north central Idaho, rugged peaks, deep canyons, dense forests, and remote wilderness comprise the Nez Perce National Forest. To whitewater enthusiasts the Snake, Salmon and Selway Rivers mean adventure. These rivers also provide streamside visitors with good steelhead runs, fine camping and picnicking, and spectacular scenery. Due in large part to dramatic elevational differences, the forest supports a wide variety of vegetation, from cedar groves to desert ecosystems. These extremes support numerous and diverse wildlife populations. The Seven Devils Area of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area is on the Nez Perce National Forest.
