Join us for customized tours to the local points of interest including:
- Lemhi Pass - It was here on August 12th, 1805 where Lewis first gazed upon the western side of the Great Divide and drank from the waters of the Columbia River. It was also here that Sacajawea, the Lemhi Shoshoni woman who accompanied the party, was reunited in an emotional celebration with her brother and Shoshoni leader, Cameahwait.
- Tendoy - Named after a famous Shoshoni Chief, this encampment in the Lemhi River valley is the birthplace of Sacajawea and home of the Lemhi Shoshoni people.
- Tower Creek - On August 21, 1805 Clark and party reached the Salmon River and camped near the mouth of Tower Creek. The journals describe the intriguing rock towers that are seen near here.
- Sorefoot Camp - As Clark’s scouting party descended the steep Salmon River canyon they reached a point where even their horses could no longer proceed. Clark left his sore-footed mounts and the balance of his party here to hunt and rest while he continued further down river on foot.
- Pine Creek Rapids - This is the first of many Class III rapids that the Corps would have had to survive had they chosen the Salmon River canyon as their route through Idaho.
- Lost Trail Pass - Following the North Fork of the Salmon River, the Corps endured snow and treacherous mountain landscape as they passed over this 7,000-foot pass into present day Montana.
- Sacajawea Interpretive & Education Center - Salmon, ID.
