NHP - Nez Perce


In 1877 the Nez Perce traveled 1170 miles in 126 days through 4 different states as they fled the US Army.  The Nez Perce Historical Park follows the flight.  You can follow it on the website if not in reality The Flight of 1877.

On our Lewis and Clark Trail Trip we stopped at a few of the sites on our way from Lewiston to Missoula.

NPS - Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail

In 2013 we hopped in the car and followed the Lewis and Clark Trail.

On the road just shy of four weeks, we back tracked the route of Lewis and Clark from Portland, Oregon to Pierre, south Dakota.  Here, Having our fill of Interpretive Centers, we bravely struck out on our own. Much like Lewis and Clark, we adapted travel to meet many challenges. Although not avoiding (justifiably) hostile Indians or severely in-climate weather, we were driven to adapt due to whim, mediocre lodging, good Chinese take out or pizza withdrawal. We set out with Lewis and Clark as our guides to see America. We traversed mile after mile of wide open space while listening to books on tape. Although we covered 5.615 miles, we barely scratched the surface of things to see. We toured countless museums and interpretive centers and saw history from many different perspectives. The thoroughly satisfying road trip concluded with camping and fishing in the Sierras.  Greg Trindle 2014 


Following posts will cover the many great National Parks and Monuments that we visited.  Pictures here are from some of the other interpretive centers and towns we visited along the way.
