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.
…Looking Closely, You See After The Foreground, What Looks Like A Minor Dip In The Highway. Although Not Evident, At The “Dip”, The Highway Goes Over Very High Expensive Bridge, Over The Huge Canyon Of White Bird Creek! Also the Older US-95 (which was traveled by Robert Pirsig in 1968), goes West under this bridge, as it follows White Bird Creek, to where fit lows into the Salmon River.
…A Dramatic View This Will Seen In THIRD NEXT Photo.
