RIVERS & TRAILS

viduals and groups, military men and
scientists, a president and a slave, women and men, French-speaking boatmen
and Native Americans. It is a story of
loss and hope, and one of changes that
began in 1803 and continue today. Today, you can still experience the trail as
the Corps did. Hike Idaho's Bitterroot
Mountains and follow the centuries-old
footsteps of the Salish, the Nez Perce
and the Corps of Discovery, explore
meadows and forests on horseback or
enjoy activities never imagined by the
Corps. Bicycle along rugged paths or
endless blacktop, or, in winter, discover
the trail on skis or snowshoes. Travel
by car or bus to see in days what Lewis

and Clark required months to explore.
Along the trail, state parks, such as
the Sacajawea State Park in Washington, and Lewis and Clark State Parks
in several states, expand the education
and experience of the trail through
interpretive centers, educational programming and historical reenactments.
Missouri Wild and Scenic River
Much of Lewis and Clark's exploration
of the west took place by river, and Montana's Missouri Wild and Scenic River
parallels 150 miles of the historic trail.
Today's visitors raft, canoe or kayak
through the Upper Missouri River Breaks
National Monument, which protects
public lands surrounding the river and
ensures a sense of solitude. Floaters will
see folded, buckled, twisted and rippled
landforms sculpted by volcanic activity

Our trails offer limitless opportunities. Join
the celebration by sharing your trail stories,
entering the Trails Photo Contest, participating in an event, or by simply getting out
on the trail, and maybe bringing along a
friend. Learn more at www.trails50.org.

and glacial erosion. Campers enjoy dark
star-filled skies and are lulled to sleep
by the sound of wind rustling the leaves
of cottonwood trees that line the riverbanks. Of the 49 species of fish residing
in the river, fishermen are most likely to
catch goldeye, drum, sauger, walleye,
northern pike, channel catfish, carp and
smallmouth buffalo. Of the six remaining paddlefish populations in the United
States, Missouri's appears to be the largest in average size. The Upper Missouri River valley is home to 60 species of
mammals and 233 species of birds. Bald
eagles, which were once scarce, are again
nesting in cottonwood snags.
The North Country National Scenic Trails
stretch 4,600 miles over seven states, from
the middle of North Dakota to the Vermont
border of New York.
