We made it to Big Hole National Battlefield, the site of the bloodiest battle between the US Army and Nez Perce during the Flight of 1877.

The visit marked Jen’s 400th national park unit (she’s getting close to finishing!) and the 250th national park unit I’ve visited more than once.

A wooden sign indicates the entrance to Big Hole National Battlefield, part of the Nez Perce National Historical Park, set against a backdrop of grassy terrain and forested hills.A vast open field with dry grass and shrubs stretches toward a gently sloping hill under a cloudy sky.A vast landscape features dense shrubbery, a small water stream, and distant hills under a partly cloudy sky.A stone monument stands on a dirt patch surrounded by a wooden border with trees and a natural landscape in the background.
