The expedition settled for the winter near the mouth of the Knife River in North Dakota in late October There they employed a trader named Toussaint Charbonneau. Lewis later wrote that he was "a man of no particular merit," but he brought along a wife named Sacagawea. She proved to be a great asset.

Some days the Corps covered 25 miles. The expedition encountered grizzly bears, which Lewis and Clark usually called "white bears,” bighorn sheep, wolves, coyotes, beaver, geese, ducks, eagles, swans, elk, buffalo, and antelopes. The Corps was amazed at the rolling, treeless plains!

On June 2, 1805, the Corps arrived at a major fork in the river. The maps and information from Indian scouts hadn’t mentioned the fork. Lewis and Clark had to decide which course was the true Missouri River.

8. Majestically Grand Scenery
Lewis arrived at the Great Falls of the Missouri River on June 13, 1805, anticipating an easy, one- day journey. Instead, he discovered four more waterfalls, complicating his plan. Clark called this the most perilous part of their journey. They had to spend a great deal of time hewing out two cottonwood dugouts to continue on their way.

9. A Critical Landmark
The members of the expedition were desperate to cross the Rocky Mountains before winter. Steadily, they navigated a gap that Lewis called the “Gates of the Mountains.” Sacagawea told Lewis that she was starting to recognize the territory and that her people were not far. This lifted his spirits tremendously.

10. Over the Divide
Lewis was determined to find the Shoshone Indians. After navigating three rivers, Lewis scouted the area with three companions. They relied on Sacagawea’s memories as a young girl. They soon spotted a lone Indian and the next day reached the Continental Divide.

12. Through the Gorge
The expedition had to traverse some of the roughest terrain of their journey west of the Rocky Mountains. They had to cross the Cascades, which contained extremely high peaks such as Adams, Jefferson, St. Helens, and Hood. Then came the precipitous Columbia Gorge!

13. And Down to the Sea
As the Corps emerged from the Columbia Gorge, it spent two horrible weeks pinned down by storms near the Pacific Ocean. Finally, they found a site for their winter home in modern-day Astoria, OR, on the Netul River.

14. Planning Ahead

Lewis and Clark again depended upon help and advice from Indians to get them to the mouth of the Clearwater River. They traded to get their horses back, and with two Nez Perce guides to help them, they set out to again conquer the Rocky Mountains.

16. Clark on the Roche Jaune
Clark spent very little time exploring the Roche Jaune (French for Yellow Stone). He climbed a massive gray rock 25 miles east of modern Billings, MT, called it "Pompy's Tower" (Pomp was Clark’s nickname for the infant son of Sacagawea), and carved his name on its side. The etching is one of the few surviving pieces of physical evidence of the expedition.

Lewis took three men to explore the source of the Marias River. When it became clear the Marias branches did not go as far north as Lewis had hoped, he called their camp site Camp Disappointment. Then Lewis and the men met their first Blackfeet Indians. The encounter ended in a fight, with two Blackfeet dead and Lewis and his men fleeing back to the Missouri.

Pushing hard, the Corps neared St. Louis. The captains paid Charbonneau $ when he left the Corps in the Mandan villages. Although Sacagawea received nothing, Clark acknowledged her role in a letter to her husband. When they landed in St. Charles, the group officially ended their “journey of discovery.”

Having for many days past confined myself to the boat, I determined to devote this day to amuse myself on shore with my gun and view the interior of the country lying between the river and the Corvus Creek. ... the shortness…of grass gave the plain the appearance throughout it's whole extent of a beatifull bowling-green in fine order. ... this senery already rich pleasing and beatiful was still farther hightened by immence herds of Buffaloe, deer Elk and Antelopes which we saw in every direction feeding on the hills and plains. I do not think I exagerate when I estimate the number of Buffaloe which could be compre[hend]ed at one view to amount to 3000.

They killed several dogs for our people to feast on, and spent the greater part of the day in eating and smoking. At night the women assembled, and danced till 11 o'clock;
