Many changes have occurred since the time Lewis and Clark used this route in the early 1800's.
The mountains you see around you are now shared by the U.S. Forest Service and the Plum Creek Timber Company.
Each owns alternate sections of land creating a checkerboard pattern.

This pattern of ownership began here in 1908 when the U.S. Government granted the Northern Pacific Railroad Company alternate sections along their proposed railroad route.

As you travel across Lolo Pass, you will see a variety of textures and openings on the landscape. They represent natural fire patterns and timber management practices on private timber lands and the national forests.
