Traveler's Rest State Park - Lolo, Montana A Rest Stop for Lewis and Clark

Travelers' Rest State Park in Lolo, Montana marks the location of a centuries-old Native American campsite which Lewis and Clark's used in 1805 and 1806. They called the nearby creek "Travellers Rest." In Summer 2002, archaeologists found evidence of the Corps of Discovery's latrine and central fire, positioning the Park as one of the the few sites in the nation with physical confirmation of the group's visit--a truly unique designation.

The deer in the photo are standing in the exact spot of the main campfire.

The archaeologists discovered mercury in one location which led them to believe that location was the are dug by the expedition for their latrine. Sure enough, they discovered the latrine. In the pictures below, we are sitting on Lewis and Clark's latrine !

Just returned from my favorite (so far) national park, Glacier National Park. We stayed at a great lodge, the Smoky Bear Lodge near West Glacier. Smoky Bear has the best breakfasts we have had in a lodge for a long time and moose and bear frequent the property. Glacier was great as always.
