The Nez Perce Reach the Madison River

After spending one day at Henry?s Lake, the Nez Perce departed on August 22. They crossed the 7,072–foot Targhee Pass and descended to the Madison River. They then began a journey through the Yellowstone wilderness, an area revered by the Nez Perce for its spiritual power. This area was designated as Yellowstone National Park in 1872.
