Anyone who wants an overview of why North Idaho is the true gem of Idaho needs to hit the road on the International Selkirk Loop, a 280-mile scenic drive that winds you through Idaho, Canada, and Washington. Considered one of the best scenic drives in the Northern Rockies, the loop includes towering snow-capped mountains, crystal clear lakes, charming small towns, and numerous side trips that will delight any outdoors lover. If you want to do the entire drive, it’s recommended that you take 3-7 days to make the loop.
