Joseph Canyon Viewpoint, Oregon

Nez Perce called this area saq'nma, which means "long, rough canyon." This dramatic viewpoint on Oregon State Highway 3, about 38 miles north of Enterprise, shows where families of the Wallowa band made their winter camps, at the confluence of Joseph Creek and Grande Ronde River.
