Lewis & Clark Trail

Top left, the "small rise" where the Nez Perce village stood. The top right sign is in town. The other two signs are at the place where Clark came upon the Nez Perce youths collecting camas bulbs. The grassland, above, is more typical of the field where camas flowers grow. The actual field is planted in hay and mowed often. The blue spot in the center of the image may be a late camas flower - they bloom in May. Imagine the difficulty finding and digging up camas bulbs here!
