Lewis & Clark Trail
North Fork Idaho
The photo, right, matches Captain Clark's description of this section of the Salmon River. The weathered interpretive sign looks much like a tattered journal page you might find under a bush! It's testimony to the severe weather possible in this part of Idaho. These bones were lying near the river. They could be from a mountain goat, deer, or calf. Clark's starving men would have boiled the bones for a soup had they made this discovery.
