Lewis and Clark did not experience October fun in

Lewis and Clark did not experience October fun in what is now Montana, but you can!

Fall, Farm, Fun at the Applestem Corn Maze (and Pumpkin Patch) on the Missouri River
September 14-October 27

The Applestem Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch is an agriculture themed outdoor recreational attraction and farm with 10 acre corn maze and other activities that are perfect for all ages! From ages 2 to 92, everyone will enjoy our farm located just outside of Craig, MT; between Helena and Great Falls.

You and your family will have hours of fun just looking for the quickest path out of the corn and that does not include our other popular attractions like Human Foosball and new attractions like Roller Bowler.

While the corn may not always be six-feet tall (thank-you Mother Nature) there are endless possibilities in which to get lost. And Hay! Did we mention the beautiful views of the mountains and the Missouri River?

“Along The Trail” Park Feature - Pompeys Pilla

“Along The Trail” Park Feature - Pompeys Pillar

“On July 25, 1806, while descending the Yellowstone River, Clark “arived at a remarkable rock Situated in an extensive bottom on the Stard. Side of the river & 250 paces from it.”

He wrote that, “this rock I ascended and from it’s top had a most extensive view in every direction. This rock which I shall Call Pompy’s Tower [named for Jean Baptiste ‘Pomp’ Charbonneau] is 200 feet high and 400 paces in secumphrance and only axcessable on one Side which is from the N. E the other parts of it being a perpendicular Clift of lightish Coloured gritty rock on the top there is a tolerable Soil of about 5 or 6 feet thick Covered with Short grass.

The Indians have made 2 piles of Stone on the top of this Tower. The nativs have ingraved on the face of this rock the figures of animals &c. near which I marked my name and the day of the month & year.”

Although Clark named the feature “Pompys Tower” in his original journal entry, Nicholas Biddle altered the name to “Pompey’s Pillar” for the 1814 published history of the expedition. Clark’s inscription is the only known visible evidence of the entire journey that remains intact. Pompeys Pillar was established as a national monument in 2001. An on-site visitor center interprets the expedition’s travels through the Yellowstone River valley.”

This photo was shared by David P. a few weeks ago:

“The Missouri near Hardy Creek. This bridge appeared in “The Untouchables” and was supposedly on the Canada-US border. The site is much better than the movie was!”

Thanks for sharing, David!

Very close to this bridge (https://maps.app.goo.gl/NCsRabRAFoAPu1RV8) is the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. Here’s some more information about the area to help plan a potential visit!:

“The scenic Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest stretches 2.8-million acres through central and north-central Montana. The Forest is comprised of island mountain ranges bisected by the Continental Divide and Missouri River and includes 6 ranger districts: Lincoln, Helena, Townsend, Judith - Musselshell, Rocky Mountain, and Belt Creek - White Sulphur Springs and 2 Forest Supervisor's offices located in Helena and Great Falls to oversee forest management in 17 counties.”

It is Salmon season along the Columbia River! Look

It is Salmon season along the Columbia River! Look for tribal sites to purchase your salmon while traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail!

Buying fresh Columbia River chinook salmon:

The Columbia River is known for its distinctly flavored, rich red chinook salmon, also called king salmon. For thousands of years, the Columbia has been home to coho, sockeye, chum and steelhead salmon as well as chinook. (See Columbia River Salmon Species) And for thousands of years, the Yakama, Warm Springs, Umatilla and Nez Perce Indians have harvested these fish for commercial purposes and for physical and spiritual sustenance.

Today, the Columbia River is the only place in the Northwest where you can share in this historical Indian Salmon Harvest. Tribal fishers can be seen fishing from small boats and from scaffolds with long handled dip nets, as their ancestors did centuries ago. During the late spring, summer and fall, the public can purchase premium Columbia River chinook, coho, steelhead, and sockeye directly from Indian fishers. The fish is fresh, reasonably priced, and can be purchased already cleaned from some vendors.

Buying Indian-caught salmon directly from the river is a tradition that non-Indians started participating in some 200 years ago, about the time Lewis and Clark passed through the Columbia Basin. Over-the-bank salmon sales help Indian fishers support their families and make it possible for them to continue their traditional livelihood.
