What to do and see in Lewiston, Idaho (ID): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
A city steeped in history, Lewiston traces its beginnings to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In 1805, the famed explorer team came to the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake rivers, now the site of twin cities Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington. Pick any weekend of the year for your stay: Lewiston has a uniquely dry, temperate climate, ideal for year-round recreational activities. Whitewater rafting, kayaking, swimming, fishing, tubing, canoeing and jet boating opportunities are plentiful - and that's only the water sports. Landlubbers can golf, camp, hike, jog and bicycle. For the truly adventurous, a trip to Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America, is a must. Those who venture into the gorge, via raft or jet boat, will discover 2,500-year-old Native American carvings on the canyon walls. Try your hand at indoor risk with a visit to the Clearwater River Casino. Whether braving the rapids or browsing through pioneer artifacts in the city's museums, you're sure to get a taste of the indomitable spirit of the early American settlers.

This is the2020 Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year, so you know the wine is going to be good, and it was. The tasting room was pleasant and we had it to ourselves--an advantage to visiting on a weekday. There was a nice variety of reds, whites, and a Syrah-based rose. The Lochsa Chardonnay is not oaked and very refreshing.

This small museum is packed with interesting exhibits and information. The staff was friendly and helpful. Has kid-friendly activities and too long so they won't get bored.
