When the Nez Perce named this site, they viewed a desolate yet beautiful landscape. Near a large island at the confluence, crystal waters from the Clearwater joined the murky flow of the Snake. Scattered willows grew along the broad river banks. Grass-covered, treeless hills defined the perimeter. Today, a dam to the west elevates the rivers forty feet above their beds.
