Nez Perce National Historic Trail

Nez Perce Chief Joseph The Nee-Me-Poo, or Nez Perce Indians of America’s scenic Northwest were praised as the most peace-loving of the western Natives, yet their fate was to be pursued relentlessly across 1,170 miles of mountainous terrain and eventual exile from the land they loved.

Follow the trail of the Chief Joseph band of Nez Perce as they conducted an honorable retreat across four states, pausing to fight only when attacked.

This nine-day interpretive program investigates the causes of their final tragedy, beginning in Chief Old Joseph’s traditional homeland in northeastern Oregon, and ending in Billings, MT.

Highlights include two days in Nez Perce National Park, Big Hole National Battlefield, Yellowstone National Park, an exciting jetboat ride in spectacular Hell’s Canyon, and incredible northwestern scenery every step of the way. Nez Perce National Historic Trail
