Nez Perce National Historical Park

Nez Perce National Historical Park spans 38 sites across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, telling the story of the Nez Perce people and the 1877 war in which non-treaty bands under leaders including Chief Joseph fought and outmaneuvered the U.S. Army on a 1,170-mile flight toward Canada.

Visit the Spalding site's museum and walk the nearby historic sites; young kids can earn a Junior Ranger badge. For a challenge, trace the 1877 route along the Nez Perce National Historic Trail, a multi-state journey from the Wallowa Valley to Bear Paw.
