About Iwetemlaykin State Heritage Site
Along Oregon Route 351, this heritage site sits on land tied to the Wallowa Valley's Nez Perce history, marked by its name, which comes from the Nimiipuu language. The site was established in 2009 to protect this ground on the edge of Joseph. It offers a place to view the surrounding Wallowa Valley landscape without added recreational development beyond that access.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
