Lewis and Clark journal entry from June 26, 1806. Lewis wrote, “we ascended and decended severall lofty and steep
hights. . . . late in the evening much to the satisfaction of ourselves and
the comfort of our horses we arrived at the desired spot and encamped
on the steep side of a mountain convenient to a good spring. here we
found an abundance of fine grass for our horses. this situation was
the side of an untimbered mountain with a fair southern aspect where
the snows from appearance had been desolved about 10 days. the
grass was young and tender of course and had much the appearance of
the greenswoard.”<br><br>Credit to&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/lewis-clark-lolo-trail.pdf" target="" rel="">http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/lewis-clark-lolo-trail.pdf</a>

hunters to look for game, Lewis following with the main party, equipment and supplies. Lewis wrote in his journal that evening, “[W]e
marched 18 miles this day and encamped on the side of a steep mountain; we suffered for water this day passing one rivulet only; we wer
fortunate in finding water in a steep raviene about ½ maile from our
camp. this morning we finished the remainder of our last coult. we
dined &amp; suped on a skant proportion of portable soupe, a few
canesters of which, a little bears oil and about 20 lbs. of candles form
our stock of provision.”<br><br>Credit to:&nbsp;<a href="http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/lewis-clark-lolo-trail.pdf" target="" rel="">http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/lewis-clark-lolo-trail.pdf</a>
