Lewis & Clark Trail-Powell Idaho
I headed west a couple miles from Devoto Grove on HWY 12. I planned to stay at White Sand Campground. An interpretive sign there explained the Colt Killed Creek name. The name was changed to White Sand but has been returned to the Captains' original one. They killed a colt for food near here. An Idaho Fish & Game Ranger inspects a screw trap in the creek. She weighed and measured this yearling steelhead headed for its ocean sojourn. They also check Chinook Salmon. The creek flows from the southeast, top right, meeting Crooked Fork to form the Lochsa River, right.
