Head into Lewis & Clark country and you’ll see a landscape that much as it did when they saw it two centuries ago. You’ll climb a mountain by voyaging up a river – and watch the Columbia change character as we journey from habitation into the sculptural wilds of steppe and butte, exploring the pristine reaches of the Snake and Palouse Rivers, pushing deeper upriver until we hit the Washington-Idaho border.

Instead of Sacajawea along the trail, you’ll have the equally knowledgeable company of expert Historians and Naturalists. You’ll relive, “In the Wake of Lewis & Clark” on an expedition of your own, a vital chapter in our nation’s history. Best of all, you’ll be part of the current Lewis & Clark Bicentennial “fever,” without getting caught in tourist throngs or traffic!

In the Wake of Lewis and Clark

Beginning as a trickle in the high alpine meadows of western Canada, the Columbia River flows through great, forested mountains and down desert canyons. This is the grand gateway to the West, pioneered by Lewis and Clark, roamed by fur traders, and traversed by courageous settlers as they forged their way over the Oregon Trail. Your expedition is led by Historians and Naturalists rather than conventional tour guides, specialists who share their enthusiasm through informal talks, presentations and anecdotes over drinks at the end of the day.
