Easy to get lost in if you don't know the place. Make sure you don't wander too far unless you're with someone who knows it well. Very beautiful and pristine area.
The Colville National Forest is a beautiful wilderness full of conifers such as spruce, fir, cedar, pine, and alder. Wildlife is all around with abundant signs of bear, cougar, elk, wolves, deer, mountain goats, rabbits, squirrels, hawks, owls, woodpeckers, and much more. Most of the summer you will run into campfire bans, but in the spring and fall the weather is perfect and on the cool evenings by the fire you can look up and see an astonishing amount of stars in the sky. Plenty of lakes, rivers, and streams provide many other outdoor activities as well.
We came in under chewelah and drove for hours. We used all the back logging roads. It was absolutely amazing. Definitely know you're logging roads or take a map. You could get lost if you didn't know what you were doing. Luckily I went with my husband who knows those roads well. The scenery was amazing. We didn't see very many animals. We heard a lot of birds. And there was a ton of mosquitoes.
Amazing place. This was a favorite of mine, so large you can get lost. Tons of animals and beautiful trees. Caution is due to wolf and cougar tracks I found but well worth the trip. Please respect the land and pack out what you pack in!!
We went for a 2 day hunting trip in October we were hunting for mule deer and I was the photographer, the views were great unfortunately on the 2nd day it got pretty foggy and we didn't end up getting a deer but we did get a grouse, I definitely recommend doing a hike here.
