I am the Trail of the Buffalo
You can find me on the ridgeline above you. I've seen many pass this way, some in joy and some in sadness, some in peace and some in war. For the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) I was K'useyneisskit or 'road to the buffalo.' For the Selish (Salish) I was Nap-to-nee-sha or 'road to the salmon.' For Lewis and Clark, this ". . . Indian road . . ." led them across ". . . the most horrible mountains." From earliest times people have traveled across my back from the rivers of the west to the plains of the east, down my arms from high mountains gathering areas to fishing grounds. I was a key link in a vast trade network carrying buffalo, salmon, shells and bows from ocean to ocean. In more recent times visitors have scratched for gold, cleared trails and built roads across me. Some still call me K'useyneisskit, some know me as the Lolo Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail or the Nez Perce Trail. But by whatever name I'm known, my history continues, and the beauty of the vast mountains and clear rivers that surround me remains.| HM Number | HM2BAL |
