Lewis & Clark Trail
The Lewis and Clark Resort is on US Highway 12, a couple miles east of Kamiah. A magnificent mural spreads across the archway entrance to the restaurant. It's a copy of Charles M. Russell's "Indians at Ross' Hole." (Sula Montana) Note that Salish warriors dominate the scene. This is their homeland and they intended to defend it if necessary. Captains Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea are in the distance, on the far right. She is out in front, a symbol of peaceful intent, left. The Heart of the Monster is directly across the highway from the resort. This volcanic mound represents the point of creation for the Nez Perce. It's part of Nez Perce National Park. The park covers sites in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
