Sherman Creek Road to Liz Butte Road

Lewis and Clark journal entry from September 19, 1805. Clark and his party saw the Camas Prairie (north of present-day
Grangeville, Idaho) for the first time from Sherman Peak. Lewis
described their reactions: “[T]he ridge terminated and we to our
inexpressible joy discovered a large tract of Prairie country lying to
the S. W. and widening as it appeared to extend to the W. through
that plain the Indian informed us that the Columbia river, in which
we were in surch run. this plain appeared to be about 60 Miles
distant, but our guide assured us that we should reach it’s borders
tomorrow the appearance of this country, our only hope for subsistence greately revived the sperits of the party already reduced and
much weakened for the want of food.”<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>
