*Adventurous Travel: roads not recommended for motor homes or vehicles towing trailers; usually passable from July to October*

A half-mile walking trail leads through a grove of ponderosa pines to a former Nez Perce spring camp. Many of the trees here still bear peel scars dating to the 1870s. Before the summer roots and berries were ready to harvest, the outer bark of the pine trees could be peeled to eat the sweet inner cambium layer.
