Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, National historic trail from Pittsburgh to Pacific Ocean, United States
The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail extends 4,900 miles across sixteen states, following the Missouri River and crossing mountain ranges to the Columbia River.
The expedition from 1804 to 1806 documented hundreds of plant and animal species while establishing diplomatic relations with Native American nations along the route.
The trail passes through territories of more than 60 Native American tribes, each maintaining distinct traditions and connections to the landscapes traversed by the expedition.
Visitors can access interpretive centers, camping areas, and hiking paths along the route, with maps and guidance available at the headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
The 2019 extension added 1,200 miles of Ohio and Mississippi River segments to the trail, making it the longest route in the National Trails System.
