North America 2024

Butte, Montana – Earthquake Lake – West Yellowstone

The Lewis and Clark Caverns Tourist Info Office. We crossed the Continental Divide, and it is close to here that Lewis and Clark were forced to abandon their river craft. They had travelled from Illinois, using the Missouri River till they reached the Rocky Mountains at Missouri Headwaters. From here they trekked over the route we had taken from Lewiston, Idaho, across the Lolo Pass to Montana, but in the opposite direction. There are limestone caves stretching for a mile here, but Lewis and Clark did not visit them.
