Outside Magazine Ranks the University of Idaho #29
You don’t have to take our word for it. Following is Outside magazine’s description of the University of Idaho:
Local Color Moscow (pop. 21,000), in the hills of Idaho's Palouse region, delivers a lively music scene, capped by the annual Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, in February. Locals run on the paved eight-mile path along Paradise Creek, bike the trails on 5,000-foot Moscow Mountain, and paddle the Snake and Salmon rivers.
Word on the Quad The Student Recreation Center has the highest climbing wall (55 feet) of any U.S. university. Thanks to an outstanding outdoor program, fledgling mountaineers learn on British Columbia's Kokanee Glacier and later climb Mount Rainier.
