This easy hiking trail (really, it's old logging roads with the option to get on some well beaten hiking and mountain biking trails) meanders up, over, and around Moscow Mountain. The trailhead off highway 95 doesn't offer much parking, so best get there a bit early.

This expansive park is perfect for a family outing. There are a few play structures for various age groups, a gazebo and barbecue pits. The city pool is also nearby, which accepts a donation for entrance. Palouse is a small town, so this park is often quiet... though it does host a few regional events throughout the summer.

This park is just off the highway and great for a family pitstop to let the kids stretch their legs. It has a gazebo, pond, and walking trails... great place for a picnic.

This is well off the beaten path, but a great day trip if you have the time. The state park charges a $5 entrance, has a boat launch, swimming area, camping, hiking, play structures, archery, an outdoor amphitheater... it's our favorite family spot during the summer. Pretty quiet outside holiday weekends, too.

Food Scene
This gem offers great eats and is off the beaten Pullman path, just a 15 minute drive from the house. It's a fairly small space, but does have seasonal outdoor seating. Breakfast is really tasty! The lunch/dinner menu features mostly BBQ. Great for families - plenty of high chairs for kiddos, plus crayons and chalk for keeping them occupied.

Excellent breakfast! The fresh squeezed orange juice is yummy, and the German potato pancakes and abelskivers are 'old country recipe' favorites. This place gets very busy on event weekends in town, so get there early.

This is a long drive, but well worth it. Run by local Mennonites, the Pie Safe has great homemade treats like ice cream, pastries and pies, paninis, pizzas, cheeses, chutneys and compotes. It doubles as a creamery and also offers homemade quilts and other sewn goods.

Drinks & Nightlife
The drink menu is really unique and creative at Etsi Bravo. This space has live music, dancing, and dancing lessons. The menu is limited to (tasty) bar snacks, but has also partnered with the restaurant below it to offer desserts.

Coco and Karl, the owners of Clearwater Canyon Cellars, are University of Idaho graduates, and Coco earned her PhD in viticulture from Washington State University... the wine produced here is to die for! If you happen to be in the LC valley, I highly recommend stopping by for a tasting. Check their website for tasting hours before making the drive... and be sure to stop at any of the lookouts as you drive down the grade, to take in the gorgeous view.

This mall has a Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, Ross, Joann Fabrics, and a few other staple establishments. Nothing fancy here, but you can generally find what you need. On rainy or cold days, we take the kids here to let them get some energy out, walking up and down the central atrium.
