A good place to visit if you're passing by on highway 91. There are two place you can stop: (1) in the river bottoms there is a monument on the right side going north and (2) on the north side of the river just at the crest there are picnic tables, descriptions of the event and its background, and a beautiful view of the valley.nnNo bathrooms/facilities so recommend having bags for trash, water, and plan a restroom stop in Preston if you want to picnic.
Sad to see how badly the original settlers of this great place were so ruthlessly massacred. It's a humble reminder of how us white people stole such a valuable resource from such a wonderful people.
One of the worst tragedies against native people west of the Mississippi River happened here. A massacre of Shoshone men, women, elderly and children were slaughtered here by the US Army. Another story not told as much in the history books that needs to be remembered. Reports of 380 people were killed here, ive read where those numbers were a lot higher unfortunately. A very somber place, they have a decent memorial on top of the hill and there is another older one located down the hill by the road. I think Idaho needs to step their game up and make this whole area sacred ground. Close it at night, keep people from spinning donuts in the parking lot and the killing field def doesnt need to be harvesting hay off that field! Be respectful and dont take pictures of offerings left behind.
Great place to hang out with family and
Peaceful
