For Kids

National Parks are for everyone to enjoy, so we welcome kids of all ages to learn about their past. During the school year we offer activities for school groups and everyday of the year you can come in and enjoy our junior ranger program.

In Nez Perce country, the landscape tells stories. The lump of basalt near Kamiah, Idaho represents the Heart of a Monster. Coyote battled and killed a monster and from the drops of the creature's blood the Nez Perce were created.
