Lewis & Clark Trail
									Lemhi Pass Montana
									After drinking water from what he believed to be the origin of the Missouri River, Lewis crossed over the Continental Divide and "here I first tasted the water of the great Columbia river..." It may have been Agency Creek, running down the canyon, left, or a spring near Flume Creek. When Meriwether Lewis, George Drouillard, Hugh McNeal, and John Shields crossed Lemhi Pass, they left US territory. The entire Corps would cross over by August 26 1805.
