Colfax is a small, historic Palouse town set among rolling wheat hills — a walkable, friendly base for multi‑week stays with quick access to iconic viewpoints like Steptoe Butte, Kamiak Butte and the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail for great sunrise hikes, photography and a relaxed, local vibe.
For occasional urban options, Pullman (home of Washington State University) is about 16 miles away for coffee, dining and a regional airport, while Spokane — roughly 60 miles — offers bigger‑city shopping, hospitals and weekend entertainment for when you want more buzz.
