"Meeting of the Waters"
When the Nez Perce named this site, they viewed a desolate yet beautiful
landscape.
Near a large island at the confluence, crystal waters from the Clearwater
joined the murky flow of the Snake. Scattered willows grew along the broad
river banks. Grass-covered, treeless hills defined the perimeter.
Today, a dam to the west elevates the rivers forty feet above their beds. ~
