Lewis & Clark Trail
Lakeside MT

Captain Lewis, with the canoes, on the Missouri River, pulled into a camp on the right side of the river, somewhere around the bend in the river, in the top right photo. The photo, above, looks down river from the west end of York Bridge (see previous page). The top right photo looks down river, around the bend, from the east end of the bridge. The sign, right, explains the "Two Camps" as well as journal entries from the Captains. While Lewis camped north of the area shown above, on the 20th, Clark camped at White Earth Creek, up river. Both parties observed smoke from fires set by Shoshone hunters, fearing enemies in the area.
