Moscow (Idaho) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
city in Idaho, USA
About Moscow (Idaho)
Unlike the larger Idaho cities ofBoiseandPocatello, which also have public universities but also characters distinct from their respective schools, you won't confuse Moscow for being anything other than a hard-core college town. Founded in 1889, theUniversity of Idahois the single dominant institution in the city in just about every respect. The presence ofWashington State Universityin similarly college culture-intensive Pullman less than 10 miles (16 km) away only adds to that feel. Moscow is in the heart of a region known as the Palouse, noted for its rolling hills. Once outside the city and the university's sphere of influence, agriculture becomes the driving force in daily life.
