The Dalles Oregon
Lewis & Clark Trail
The interpretive signs at Fort Rock are mostly weathered and illegible - maybe neglected because of its questionable authenticity. The site certainly fits Clark's description. Two views east, top left and bottom right, show the rocky bluffs. They would have been good defensible barriers. No need to worry, besides irritating petty theft, the natives were sociable. Mt. Hood is visible to the west. Clark first saw it on Oct. 18th.
