Believe it or not, Heart Of The Monster is the name of an actual place. It’s in the valley of the Clearwater River near Kamiah, Idaho. It’s part of the Nez Perce National Historic Park and an important part of the creation story of the Nez Perce people, something about Coyote defeating a Monster and eating its heart. Sounds a bit gruesome. If I look apprehensive in the photo, it’s because I’m concerned about running into the Monster.
Later, we stopped by the visitor center which was not as scary. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the tribe.
