    I came here right after the Visitor Center changed their hours, so the official NPS website didn't…read morereflect the new hours. The change was apparently posted to their Facebook page a few days before though. And so I arrived to a closed Visitor Center. It seemed like I wasn't the only one, as there were a handful of other cars that pulled up into the parking lot. Oh well. I went on the Siege Area Trail which is 1.2 miles round trip. The trailhead has an interpretive brochure that explains points of interest on the trail, which made it easy to picture the events that occurred during the battle. For some reason, I couldn't see or missed some numbered stops on the trail, so it was somewhat confusing. Maybe the trail needs some updating to make them more visible? Overall, this is a somber visit to a battlefield that was not mentioned in my school textbooks. It's a reminder that we should not forget history.

    These are the grounds where the US military attacked the Nez Perce in an attempt to remove them…read morefrom the area and stick them on a reservation. Unfortunately it was snowing on the day we visited (yes, in May!) So we couldn't really see the battefield, nor walk around outside. The visitor's center is very informative though and there's even a 20 min film you can watch to learn about the history of the attacks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're into history or national parks. Don't forget your NPS passport book!
