This Photo Taken From Nearly Same Camera Location As Previous Google Street View, But Rotated Right ~45 degrees.
….It Shows A Summer View Similarly Of, The Highest Ridge Running Along The Horizon, Which Marks the Historic Lolo Trail, Well Used By Nez Perce Native Americans, And By Lewis & Clark.
….NOTE The closer mountain top to right of center, is NOT to be confused with The Prominent Mountain Lookout called by Lewis & Clark “Rocky Point”, which from here is located ~2.5 miles a bit North Of West. The Local History Sign, NEXT PHOTO, might lead the reader to wrongly believe, that the /\ Above /\ seen closer mountain top is “Rocky Point”.

……WHY This Area Of Idaho Is Called “The Lolo Trail Corridor”.
….
NOTE1: Please Remember => The Local History Sign, shown in 11th Previous Photo. This sign was back where US-12 Turned West From US-93.
NOTE2: This Sign Was Introducing => “The Historic Lolo Trail”, the location of which happens to be seen in The /\ Above Photo, and is marked by => The Highest Ridge Running Along The Horizon. The below is COPIED FROM THAT SIGN and very well explains => WHY this area of Idaho Is called => “The Lolo Trail Corridor”.=>
***********************
…… “The Lolo Trail was different from other East – West 18th Century Trails. It did not witness a flood of cross-country migration. There were no covered wagons here.

….”Unmapped and shifting over time, it penetrated much formidable terrain that it was only made passible only by those that had travelled it before, with a knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Long before it became an explorer’s route, it was an American Indian trail. Lewis and Clark would have been lost here without the aid of these Indian guides. On June 27, 1806, William Clark described these mountains as:

…. “ … Stupendous principally covered with snow like that on which we stood; we are entirely serounded with them it would have Seemed impossible to have escaped … “

….”The Bitterroot Mountains were the most difficult part of a trail [any trail or road] that connected the plains of the Columbia River with those of the Missouri. Its unyielding topography and dense timber stubbornly resisted “improvement” for wheeled vehicles until the 1960’s. And try as they did. Railroads were never able to penetrate the mountains to the west. U.S. Highway 12 roughly parallels the Lolo Trail, which is mostly above you, atop the ridges and saddles, North or South of the highway. “
….”Except for changes in the vegetation, the Lolo Trail looks much like it did hundreds of years ago. Watch for other interpretive signs that will tell you more of the story. If you do, you’ll understand why Congress chose to preserve the settings as the Nee Moo Poo National Historic Trail and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which together make up the Lolo Trail.”
