Tower Creek Pyramids

From Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail:




In August of 1805, the men of the Corps passed along the Salmon River in what is today eastern Idaho. On a small tributary (today it’s Tower Creek), they spotted an area of unique rock formations which they thought resembled pyramids. Captain Clark wrote, “passed remarkable rock resembling Pirimids on the Left Side”

You can visit the Tower Creek Pyramids Day Use Area and see these strange formations for yourself. Head north out of Salmon, Idaho on Highway 93 for approximately 10 miles. Turn east onto Tower Creek Road and continue for about two miles.
