My wife & I are amateur history buffs and the past few years we have been researching & traveling parts of the Lewis & Clark trail. We have traveled most of the trail but have a few stretches to fill in. During the past 3 years we have spent about 30-35 days traveling different sections... some more than once.
(What an adventure that must have been for the Corps of Discovery! We wish we could go on an extended trek like that for 2 plus years... especially with all the techno toys & comforts available when "roughing it" in the 21st century...)
We have traveled about 90% of the Missouri River route using various modes of transportation & lodging (cycling, kayaking, keelboat, camping, hiking, motels, etc...). We have also traveled parts of the Columbia River from the Pacific inland. I've done the western MT stretch 3 years ago but my wife did not (now we get to do it together) and neither of us have been up to Glacier.
Next week we will be flying up to Great Falls, MT to explore parts of western Montana and into Idaho.
Not sure if we will be doing motels or SUV/van camping (hopefully camping). It is too far to tow our TTT or to drive since we only have 4-5 days for this trek.
We are also planning to take a northward detour to see Glacier NP. Most of the trip will be Great Falls to Missoula & a little ways into Idaho.
Anyone been through these parts have "Must See" suggestions?
