High Point of the Journey

This is the sort of canoe that Lewis & Clark used to continue up the Missouri and had to haul when they portaged around Great Falls.


The canoes were buried, along with a cache of supplies for the return journey



Lewis & Clark crossed the continental divide at this point
This was the highest elevation of their journey

The headwaters of the Missouri are near Lemhi Pass. I am standing with my feet on either side of the Missouri! 
The water comes out of a spring in the the copse of trees behind me.
