McCroskey State Park, Wilderness state park in Benewah County, Idaho, US.
The 5,300-acre park stretches across a mountain ridge with dense cedar forests, ponderosa pines, and views of the Palouse prairie below.
Conservationist Virgil McCroskey donated the land in 1955, maintaining it for 15 years at his expense before the state accepted responsibility.
The park honors pioneer women through its dedication to Mary McCroskey, who established a homestead near Steptoe Butte in eastern Washington.
Visitors can explore 32 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, with nine developed campsites available throughout the park.
The 18-mile Skyline Drive provides access through forest transitions, from cedar groves to ponderosa stands, revealing multiple ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
