always a perfect adventure.
You just can't picture the amount of outdoors cool things the area near Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail has to offer. You need to take a look at Omaha Bend while you're here at Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail, and you can go for a hike
on the Boyer Chute Trails. A brilliant nearby hotel is Courtyard By Marriott Omaha Downtown; if you want to visit some exciting stuff, visit Council Bend. If you came to camp Tomes Country Club Acres Park is a magnificent location to do that, and some attention-grabbing geology
is available here, Council Bend is right here.
This page celebrates the heroic expedition of the Corps of Discovery, led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Captain William Clark. Thirty three people traveled with them into unknown territory, starting near what is
now known as Wood River, Illinois in 1804, reaching the Pacific Ocean in 1805 and returning in 1806. Today's trail follows their route as closely as possible given the changes over the years. It is approximately 3,700 miles long, beginning near Wood River, Illinois, and
passes through portions of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The National Park Service does not own any portion of the trail. Various organizations and individuals are responsible for trail stewardship with oversite
provided by the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail office. CONTACTS Email - LECL_Administration@nps.gov Fax- 402-827-9108 Write to
