Wapi

The volcanic country of the Snake River Plain is a harsh expanse of dark lava and sparse vegetation. South of the great lava fields lies Wapi, a low shield volcano whose fluid flows spread over a broad area some two thousand years ago. The Northern Shoshone and Bannock knew this dry country and its resources. Shoshone trails crossed the lava farther west, linking the Snake River with camas grounds used during summer journeys.
