State Highway 8 (SH-8) is an Idaho state highway in Latah and Clearwater counties, running from the Washington state line in Moscow to Elk River. It is Script error: No such module "convert". in length, and runs primarily east–west.

Route description

SH-8 begins at the Washington state line, connecting with Washington State Route 270 to Pullman. Between the cities to the north is the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. The two state highways comprise the "Moscow-Pullman Highway" in the Script error: No such module "convert". between the university cities.

In Moscow, Highway 8 runs east along the northern boundary of the University of Idaho campus as Pullman Road (widened to five lanes in 1996–97),[1][2][3][4] enters an "S" curve, and becomes Third Street. It briefly overlaps US 95, and runs south through the city center (one ways (since 1981): Jackson Street southbound and Washington Street northbound, a block on either side of Main). South of downtown, SH-8 branches east to become the "Troy Highway" and continues to Troy, where it intersects SH-99.

East of Troy, SH-8 heads generally northeast, intersecting SH-9 shortly before entering Deary and overlapping SH-3 there. From Deary, the overlapping highways run east and northeast to Bovill, where they diverge.[5][6][7] From Bovill, SH-8 heads south and southeast into Clearwater County, then turns east and northeast into Elk River, where it ends at the intersection of First and Main streets.[5]

Associated trails

For non-motorized traffic, Highway 8 is paralleled to the south by a series of paved trails from the state line to Troy, on former railroad corridors. The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail originates in Pullman, gradually ascends alongside Paradise Creek, and terminates a mile into Idaho at Perimeter Road.[8] There it links with Moscow's Paradise Path, which continues alongside the creek on the north and east edges of the UI campus; it connects to the Latah Trail in southeast Moscow and then travels east through open Palouse country to Troy.[9][10]
