The Spokane Centennial Trail--a paved path running along the Spokane River from the Idaho State line to Nine Mile Falls--has something for everyone. Walk or run, bike or in-line skate, ride horseback in designated areas, or simply enjoy the natural beauty. You can picnic on the river's edge, launch a canoe, or sit and contemplate the rhythmic flow of the river. http://www.spokanecentennialtrail.org/

The International Selkirk Loop is a unique, 280 mile (450km), scenic roadway that wanders through two countries, two states, three Indian Reservations, and a number of towns and villages. The loop connects the Pend Oreille Valley with the Kootenay Valley, forming one of North America's more remote and scenic highways. http://www.selkirkloop.org/

As we approach the 200th anniversary of Lewis and Clark's expedition, we commend their resourcefulness, determination, and bravery. This Bicentennial should also serve to remind us of our Nation's outstanding natural resources. Many of these treasures first detailed by Lewis and Clark are available today for people to visit, study, and enjoy. As the commemoration of this journey begins in 2003, I encourage all Americans to celebrate the accomplishments of Lewis and Clark and to recognize their contributions to our history.
