| | Nez Perce NHP: Nez Perce Summer, 1877 (Chapter 8) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The standard route, known by the 1870s as the Bannock Trail, started at Camas Meadows and, moving east, crossed Targhee Pass and the basin of the Madison River. |
 | | That day, August 24, the Nez Perces passed from the Firehole River up the East Fork of the Firehole (later designated Nez Perce Creek), ascending Mary Mountain and skirting Mary Lake (about one-half mile long, north to south, and one-quarter mile wide) and Hot Sulphur Springs (today Highland Hot Springs) on the Central Plateau. |
 | | Furthermore, by 1878 a trail paralleled Pelican Creek for much of its length and beyond its headwaters, passing near or across the heads of several tributaries (particularly Timothy Creek) of the East Fork of the Yellowstone (Lamar River). |
