The Visitor Center is not much. If you are from Idaho and drive this route a lot like I do, you should stop in, but you won’t see many artifacts at the Center and the walking trails, etc near there are not worth it.

Worth a visit if you are in the area.…

There's free maps, lots of fancy books in the gift shop, and the ranger I spoke with was really knowledgeable. There's a small gallery and a 15-minute video on preserving the language that's informative and moving.
