Natural History

At nearly any place in Pend Oreille County, natural history is evident in all directions. The waters of the Pend Oreille River flowing northward and bound for the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean beyond; deep canyons gorged by ice age floods; the Selkirk Mountains featuring an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, including the only woodland caribou herd in the contiguous United States.
