About
This is one of the most scenic backroads in the Northwest. From Hwy 2, you’ll head up Yaak River Road, passing Yaak Falls on your right. The area is thick with forest and full of wildlife. Marshy meadows are home to moose, and when the huckleberries are in season, you might even spot a black bear or grizzly. Elk herds roam the basin, and deer are everywhere you look.
