Today, we serve over 1,000 youth and young adults each year across a four-state region who restore critical habitat, build trails, lead volunteers, educate youth, and respond to local and national disasters. Nez Perce National Historical Park, Spalding, IdahoNez Perce National Historical Park preserves and interprets places significant to the history, culture, and continuing traditions of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) people. Often described as “a park about a people, for all people,” the park protects sites connected to Nimiipuu history, culture, leadership, and resilience across a broad landscape. Rather than a single location, the park includes 38 sites across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Montana, each connected to the homeland and stories of the Nimiipuu. Approximately 300,000 visitors annually explore Nez Perce National Historical Park to learn about the cultural heritage and history of the Nez Perce people and to experience the landscapes tied to these stories. Visitors also encounter park sites while traveling along two national historic trails: the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, administered by the National Park Service, and the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail, managed by the U.S. Forest Service in close partnership with Nez Perce National Historical Park. Many travelers discover park sites while passing through the region and are introduced to the many stories and connections tied to this landscape. The park headquarters and visitor center are located in Spalding, Idaho, along U.S. Highway 95 near the Idaho–Washington border and approximately 10 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho. The area is defined by the Clearwater and Snake Rivers as they flow through canyons and rolling hills before joining near Lewiston. Vegetation in the area includes grasslands and sagebrush, and much of the surrounding countryside is agricultural and planted in wheat. The nearby communities of Lewiston, Idaho (population approximately 36,000) and Clarkston, Washington (population approximately 8,000) provide major services including rental housing, an airport, schools, and hospitals. There is no public transportation to the park from surrounding communities. Daytime temperatures from May through September frequently reach the high 80s, with numerous days in July and August exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
