Lewis and Clark Bicentennial
The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806 spent many months traveling
through the varied scenery of Montana. Many areas of the landscape along
the expedition’s route on the Helena National Forest look much the
same as in 1805-1806. Visit the routes of the famous explorers on public
lands in the HNF area. Specific brochures detailing the history and prehistory
of the Gates of the Mountains and of theLewis and Clark Pass area are
available at district offices as well as at the Supervisor's Office in
Helena.
Many people are making plans to visit places along the Lewis and Clark
National Historic Trail (LCNHT). The Helena National Forest is working
to enhance the experience visitors have while protecting the heritage
values of the LCNHT.
