It was worth the time. We should not forget hi story and the toughness, determination, faith & will to survive that those who settled the west possessed. I wish it had a gift shop or a small bookstore.

This is our go to place for walking the dog, hiking, playing Pokemon Go, and hopefully finding some morel mushrooms when it gets a bit warmer. The newly remodeled Trails Center has fascinating displays and dioramas of Lewis and Clark's exploration and much more.
