60307 Chief Joseph Pass (2,138 m) has a great cross country ski area up here. That's Highway 43 on the left of the sign.
We'll turn right into the parking area.

60307 The signs on Chief Joseph Pass remind us that Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce peacefully passed through the Bitterroot Valley in 1877.
The Nez Perce traveled over 1,140 miles until they surrendered on October 5, 1877 south of Chinook, Montana.
One of the bloodiest confrontations of the "flight" occurred just down the road, "The Battle of the Big Hole."
The Nez Perce used the nearby "Gibbons Pass" to enter the Big Hole Valley in 1877.
