  • NEZ PERCE ...Through the Big Hole, Horse Prairie and Lemhi Valleys -1877
    Auto Tour the plight op The NEZ PERCE ...through the Big Hole, Horse Prairie and Lemhi Valleys -1877 United States Forest Beaverhead-Deerlodge Department of Service National Agriculture Forest n August 1877, the tranquility of the Big Hole Valley was shattered by the sound of gunfire as a battle erupted between J five bands of Nez Perce Indians and U.S. military forces along the banks of the Big Hole River. For valley settlers, anxiety turned to fear and concern as nearly 800 Nez Perce men, woman and children gathered their wounded and fled southward towards Skinner Meadows and the country beyond. Today, you can retrace the route used by the Nez Perce and their military pursuers. This brochure describes the Nez Perce (Nee- Me-Poo) National Historic Trail between Big Hole National Batttlefield, Montana and Leadore, Idaho. The map shows the auto tour route in detail. Auto Tour Route - This designated auto route stays on all-weather roads and allows you to experience the Nez Perce Trail from a distance. The auto tour route is passable for all types of vehicles. An alternative route exists from Lost Trail Pass on the Montana/Idaho border south to Salmon and Leadore, Idaho along Hwy. 93 and 28. Adventure Route - For those seeking the most authentic historic route, a rough two lane road, connects Jackson, Montana and the Horse Prairie Valley. Examine the map carefully and watch for signs. You may want to take a more detailed Forest Map. The adventure route is usually passable from July to October. It is not recommended for motor homes or vehicles towing trailers.
