Trail #67 Hand Shake
This Trail Open to Hikers Only.
This is a short, accessible trail that leads to monument honoring the Hand Shake agreement of 1932.
An area in the Sawtooth Berry Fields was reserved in 1932 by a handshake agreement between Yakama Indian Chief William Yallup and Gifford Pinchot National Forest Supervisor J.R. Bruckart for use by Indians. By understanding the historical significance of this area, we hope you pay close attention to the signs indicating the areas reserved for use by the Indians. By doing so, you are respecting the culture of another people.
