Looking Back (North), At The Road We Have Just Come Down.
…Just Right Of Center, The Whole Distant Mountain Sides Are One of the Many Nez Perce National Historical Parks.

…A Dramatic View This Will Seen In THIRD NEXT Photo.


….“I look back over my shoulder and see antlike cars way back at the top.” (Cont. Next)

One mile South of White Bird, ID. When I was here, I looked in vain for roads that would lead to the locations of The Narrator’s 1968 “ … I see our road will go down and down through what must be a hundred hairpin turns …. “.
….But with a printed topo map in hand, it should be easy for you to find, the needed road(s to do this.
…Can someone please tell us how much of this old twisty hairpin curved gravel road is open to cars or whether it can be hiked? Please send photos that fit ZMM passages.
…Since this is a National Park, I should think it is accessible to the Public, but of course you should check first.
…The 2nd next photo will additionally discuss the Narrator’s Road to White Bird Hill using the old twisty hairpin curved gravel road.
