Heart of the Monster
Visit the Heart of the Monster monument and learn about the legends esteemed by the Nez Perce. The rock formation represents the heart of a monster, which according to legend is the source from which the Nez Perce sprang. The formation sits two miles upstream from a bridge across the Clearwater River in Kamiah, Idaho. This site was a major prehistoric and historic Nez Perce crossing point of the Clearwater River. You will learn the role of the legend in Nez Perce culture as you view exhibits and listen to audio programs at an interpretive shelter near the formation.
An open-air exhibit, this un-staffed feature is open daily year-round, during daylight hours.
