Lemhi Pass
Much like Lewis, we must make a decision: which way should we go down the western slope of Lemhi Pass? A rough dirt road, recommended for 4 wheel drive only, follows Agency Creek down the south side. The bottom left image on page 148 shows that road from the pass. The north side road has a well maintained gravel surface. It follows Pattee Creek, top right. Clark would bivouac on this creek (Aug. 19, 1805) on his trek to the Shoshone camp. At the bottom of the pass, a kiosk stands in the vicinity of Lewis's contact with the Shoshones. See the loop road map on the next page.
