Belfry to Bridger, Montana

At this point the Nez Perce were only a few hours ahead of Sturgis, camped on the Yellowstone River. The Nez Perce had long hoped they might find refuge 21with their old friends the Crows but it was evident by this time that the Crows had sided with the government. Politically they could not afford to fight the U.S. Army. The Nez Perce had to keep moving. The only option now was to try to join Sitting Bull in Canada.
