While here at Ross' Hole, (Sula, Montana) on September 4th, 1805, William Clark wrote in his journal: "Those people recved us friendly, threw white robes over our sholders & smoked in the pipes of peace, we encamped with them and found them friendly."

Stay awhile with use here at the friendly Sula Country Store & Resort, and explore this historic area, where the first white visitors were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

The Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery stayed here at Ross' Hole (Sula, Montana) for two days, visiting, taking down Salish vocabulary, purchasing eleven horses & exchanging seven others. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, like many other whites, mistakenly called the Salish Indians "Flathead" Indians.

Welcome to Ross' Hole, a two-day stop of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery Expedition in 1805. They crossed the Salmon-Bitterroot divide, today's Idaho-Montana border (13 miles south of here) and came down the north side to Ross' Hole (Sula, Montana). Here they were the first whites to meet those allies of the Shoshones, the Salish Indian people who "recved us friendly".
