following Lewis' return trail after July 7; return to MT HWY 200 east.
At Rogers Pass stop to review the return journey at the interpretive
panels. The Lewis team camped northeast of the LC Pass, between Table
Mountain and Dearborne River. Most of their trail is on private land,
and not near the highway in this area. The transition from Rocky Mountains
to Great Plains they experienced as the highway curves northeast from
the pass.
Top and center left; mountains to the northwest ; left, horses graze
in prairie landscape, a reminder that the Lewis team was also proceeding
east by horse.
Drive east on Hwy 200 for 23 miles(+/-) to US HWY287; turn left and
continue to Augusta MT to return to Lewis trail on the Sun "Medicine"
River. Follow MT HWY 21, east, along the Sun River. It follows the
river as Lewis did July, 8 -10, 1806. |
