White Bird Hill Summit is a mountain pass in the northwest United States, located in north central Idaho on U.S. Highway 95.
[5] The contract for the original road, 22 miles (35 km) from the mouth of White Bird Creek at the Salmon River to Grangeville, was awarded in late 1918.
[7] Completed in 1921 and first paved in 1938, it rose slightly higher to 4,429 feet (1,350 m), due to the absence of a summit cut.
White Bird Hill Summit marks the divide between the Salmon River and the Camas Prairie.
The Battle of White Bird Canyon of the Nez Perce War occurred in the valley south of the summit in 1877.
