On their way West, in 1805

—Lewis and Clark descended into Clearwater Canyon on an old Indian trail across from here —

After more than a month's search, they finally had reached a westward river where they could use canoes.
From here they continued another 16 miles with their pack horses before they found a campsite with trees suitable for making canoes.
But at this point, they had finished their difficult mountain passage to navigable Columbia water.
