The Camas Prairie


At an elevation of around 5000 feet, the Camas Prairie located in south central Idaho, puts on a colorful show in late May and early June as Camas Lilies carpet the land in a sea of blue and purple. The Nez Pierce Indians once harvested the Camas root for medicinal purposes and for a key ingredient in making bread. The Camas Prairie is also an important wetland zone for migratory birds.
