Lewis and Clark National Historic Park

Lewis and Clark may be the most well known American explorers - with the help of Sacagawea, they followed the Missouri River and eventually the Columbia River all the way to the Pacific Coast. Directed by President Thomas Jefferson, they became the first documented American frontiersman and led the exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. And to commemorate their opening of the west, their footprints are stamped all over our route with monuments, museums, and parks. One of their last stops was at Fort Clatsop, in Oregon, where they wintered from 1805-06, where now a quaint park keeps alive this encampment.
