River. The beautiful mountains and valleys were shaped by glaciers in the Ice
Age.  
  
The Colville National Forest encompasses 1.1 million acres in the northeast

Native Americans to the area, then miners, homesteaders and fur trappers. Its
variety of resources and natural beauty continues to attract visitors today.
