With the blessings of Congress and President Jefferson, Captains Lewis and Clark forged a trail to the Pacific Ocean that eventually turned out to be one of the most courageous and worthwhile expeditions ever funded by the U.S. Government. You can follow that trail from beginning to end and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in the world along with the learning the great history of the expedition and the land it eventually brought into the United States and made it the country it is today. Take your time and make the most of a great journey.
