The Idaho Chapter of the Lewis & Clark Trail Alliance invites you to camp along the historic Lolo Trail and help maintain its interpretive signs this summer. This self-supported trip (i.e. bring your own food and gear) includes two weekend outings:

  • June 20-22, 2025 (West Side) – Camp near Musselshell Meadows and visit sites like Lewis and Clark Grove, El Dorado Creek, and Rocky Ridge.
  • July 11-13, 2025 (East Side) – Camp near Powell, Idaho, exploring Lolo Pass, Snowbank, Bear’s Oil and Roots Camp, and more.

This trip blends trail preservation with immersive history, retracing Lewis and Clark’s rugged journey across the Bitterroot Mountains from Lolo, Montana, over Lolo Pass to Weippe, Idaho. While inspecting and repairing interpretive signs, we’ll also explore some of the most significant Corps of Discovery sites along the Lolo Trail. Expect rough, dusty roads—high-clearance vehicles with durable tires are recommended. LCTA membership is not required to participate in these outings.
