The Old Spiral Highway

Diane Rice Photography

Believe it or not, after having lived in Moscow for 12 years and in Lewiston for two, I've just now driven the Old Spiral Highway down the grade for the first time. Here it is in the foreground, and it's exactly as described. Beyond is the confluence of the Clearwater (at left) and Snake rivers, with Lewiston, Idaho, on the left and Clarkston, Washington, on the right. The feat yet to be conquered is to capture this shot on a haze-less day.
