Lewis & Clark Trail - Lolo MT
Lolo Creek site of the Corps's September 12, 1805 camp - now on private property, top left. It's about 2 miles east of Lolo Hot Springs on HWY 12 and about 23 miles west of Lolo. Sgt. Ordway noted how they struggled to find a camp that day: "we found no water nor place to Camp untill 10 oClock at night...we could not find a level place to Sleep, and Scarcely any feed for our horses." The interpretive sign sits at the edge of the highway at least a thousand yards north of the Lolo Creek campsite. The sign gives a detailed description of flora and fauna that the Captains discovered along the Lolo Trail.
