Lewis & Clark Trail
Great Falls Montana
The upper portage information site overlooks ranchland that was the Upper Portage Camp. It took 11 days to transfer the goods - at roughly 1,000 pounds a trip. Bottom left, a model of Lewis's iron boat. With no pitch available to seal the elkskin seams, it failed. He was quite disappointed. To get to the overlook, drive south on Upper River Road and left onto 40th Avenue South.
