Nestled in the rolling hills of the Palouse — a geographic region encompassing parts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho — Pullman is an energetic college town. Home to about 33,000 people, it combines rural charm with world-class industry.

Pullman is a contained and easily navigable city with metropolitan amenities, making it an ideal base camp for exploring the greater Palouse region. Located at the heart of the Palouse Scenic Byway — a 208-mile network of highways showcasing some of the region’s most attractive vistas, hidden hamlets, and sites of historic significance — Pullman serves as the unofficial gateway to the greater Palouse for visitors seeking to take in the region’s breathtaking topography.

With a natural landscape that responds to and reflects the changing seasons, there’s never a wrong time of the year to drive the Palouse Scenic Byway or visit Pullman.

In the fall, enjoy the beautiful pockets of foliage that emerge from the freshly plowed brown and green rolling hills. In the winter, snow blankets the undulating landscape, creating an endless sea of white.

Spring and summer are two of the most popular seasons to visit the Palouse and drive the byway. In early spring, the region’s wheat fields turn a striking shade of green, becoming gradually dotted with the vibrant yellow hue of blooming canola crops in late May and June. As summer progresses, these fields transition to a uniform sea of golden wheat. The eye-catching natural landscape and distinct seasonal patterns have made the Palouse a world-renowned destination for photographers.

With various accommodation options, eateries to suit many tastes and easy access to the region’s most prominent highways, we warmly invite you to make Pullman your home away from home as you explore all the Palouse has to offer. Learn more at www.visit-pullman.com
