The Lewis and Clark expedition entered what is now the Bitterroot National Forest on September 4, 1805, taking a very difficult route to the west what is now Lost Trail Pass. The precise trail is unknown but we know the rugged mountains, bad weather, and hunger were challenges the Corps of Discovery faced. The trail through Lost Trail is one of the most disputed areas of their trip through the mountains. On their journey they met a village of the Salish nation including 33 lodges, and about 440 people and 500 horses. Lewis and Clark purchased 13 more horses from the Salish. On September 6, they continued the journey, traveling northwest out of Ross' Hole camping along the river just north of present day Spring Gulch Campground. They traveled north through the Bitterroot Valley until again turning west at Lolo. Ross' Hole and much of the Bitterroot Valley where Lewis and Clark traveled is private property. For locations of public land please check a forest map or call a forest office.
