Tower Creek Pyramids Day Use Area

About Tower Creek Pyramids Day Use Area

This site was homesteaded some years after the Lewis & Clark Expedition visited in 1805 and was donated back to the BLM in 2002. A picnic/day-use area in the homestead's old apple orchard lies within view of the geologic formations that William Clark phonetically noted in his journal as "pirimids." The BLM manages the 3-acre site to preserve the unique historic and geologic characteristics and maintain an undeveloped feel.

How to Get There

Located on the banks of Tower Creek: drive approximately 10 miles north of Salmon on Highway 93, turn right (east) onto Tower Creek Road. The site is about 2 miles up the canyon adjacent to the Pirimids rock formations.
