This is private land used for grazing livestock. Joseph Creek is designated a wild and scenic river. The Rimrock restaurant has a similar view a few minutes north. The Dug Bar site in Hell's Canyon National Recreation Area is accessible by jet boat or via a 25 mile steep winding primitive road. An interpretive sign explains that this flat bench in the steep walled canyon is the traditional crossing site where the Chief Joseph Band forded, not knowing this treacherous crossing was their final farewell to their homeland.
Deer are abundant.
Be alert for rattle snakes and prickly pear cactus.
