Traveler's Rest, Historic landmark in Lolo, Montana, United States.

Traveler's Rest is an archaeological site in Montana where the Lewis and Clark Expedition set up camp in 1805. The location has walking trails, exhibits, and artifacts that show what the camp looked like and how the expedition members lived here.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition camped here from September 9 to 11, 1805, before crossing the Bitterroot Mountains, and again from June 30 to July 3, 1806, on the return trip. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960, though its exact campsite was then unknown; boundaries were formalized in 1983 and corrected in 2006.

The site lies in a traditional wintering ground of the Bitterroot Salish, and infrared photography in 1996 revealed a line of circular anomalies taken as tipi rings. Excavation began on July 17, 2002, and by agreement with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, artifacts relating to the Indigenous history were returned to the units they came from.

The site is open year-round with guided tours, self-guided trails, and information signs throughout the grounds. You will find the best walking conditions between spring and fall when the paths are easiest to navigate.

Excavations have uncovered actual objects from the expedition camp, including tools and food remains. These discoveries help visitors understand what the expedition members used in their daily life.
