William Clark
We passed today nine rapids, all of them great fishing places. At different places on the river, saw Indian houses and slabs and split timber raised from the ground, being the different parts of the houses of the natives.

From here, you can see almost 200 years.

Signature Event

Destination: The Pacific
November 11 - 15, 2005
With a special commemoration of The Vote at Station Camp on November 24.

Come for Lewis and Clark. Stay for the time of your life!

Chart your course now to become a Pacific Coast Explorer! Experience the same joy Lewis and Clark felt when they first saw the Pacific "ocian" as we commemorate the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial in November 2005.

This nationally sanctioned Signature Event for Oregon and Washington offers you the same stunning coastal vistas the Corps explored as you follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark by walking the Discovery trail, hiking at Cape Disappointment, or visiting Fort Clatsop. Signature Event activities include an Opening Ceremony, a three-day festival, robust speaker series, entertainment, and special dedications. You'll also enjoy navigating your way through quaint coastal towns offering great dining, fresh seafood, shopping, galleries, and family activities.
