Lewis & Clark ~ The Blackfeet Corridor

Lewis and Clark Trail signs will appear along the highway to depict the route taken by the Corp of Discovery through the Blackfeet Corridor. The separate, homeward routes taken by Lewis & Clark on their way east in 1806 are both well worth exploring. A side trip northwest from Great Falls, Montana, traces Lewis' trek through Blackfeet Country to Camp Disappointment and the Two Medicine Fight Site, an area within easy reach of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park as they share a border with the Blackfeet Reservation.

While following Meriwether Lewis's route through the Blackfeet Corridor this sign (and others) will appear at times along the highway to depict the route taken by the Corp of Discovery.
