Pullman Travel Information
Pullman, in the heart of Palouse Country's undulating wheat fields, is home to Washington State University. This collegiate part of the population lends to Pullman's cultural diversity. Gourmet bistros rub elbows here with bars, buffets and budget delis Walk off dinner on quiet back country roads, wind through hills of wheat and past old grinding mills, now deserted and decrepit. The Museum of Art is small, but has a permanent collection of American artists. Installations on campus show work by WSU students. Stop in at the Museum of Anthropology, the Jacklin Collection, the Nez Perce Music Archive and finish with a trip to the bear research facility on the east side of campus. Here grizzlies and black bears are under study and safely behind a fence. If walking campus isn't enough of a hike, rent a bike and head for the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail. This paved eight mile path goes all the way to Moscow, Idaho and the University of Idaho. Take a drive out of Pullman to the Three Forks Pioneer Museum on a private farm. Buildings on the property, including a cabin dating back to early settlement, are furnished with period pieces. Pullman is 36 miles north of Clarkston and 66 miles south of Spokane.
