=**Question- Why did they decide to take this trip?**=

__**//Answer -//**__ President Thomas Jefferson had long wanted to see what the lands of western North America were like. His scientific curiosity mixed with political interests. With the approval of Congress, he made plans even before the Lousiana Purchase was completed. He asked Meriwether Lewis, his secretary, to head the expedition and to selected his own co-captain. Lewis chose William Clark, who once had been his commanding officer in the army..

=**Question** -What is the trail lewis and clark took?=

//**Answer -**// It's a way of designating their path through the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon--and back. Because they traveled by river, and rivers have shifted their courses and been altered by dams, the "trail" is not exact.

The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806) was an overland route from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.

Detail 1- These true American heroes faced unknown people, harsh conditions and unexplored lands to secure a place in history as two of the world's greatest explorers.

Detail 2- Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail made for them

=__**Question**__ - Was it hard to cross the rocky mountians?=


 * //Answer-//** The Lewis and Clark journey was deffinetly not an easy trip for anyone. They had to fight river currents, fight animals they have never seen and even some people they have never seen. They did not travel very far each day. What took them over two years to travel when today we could do it in three or four days. One of the hardest parts of the trip was crossing the Rocky Mountains. Lewis and Clark were worried about crossing the mountains. It would probaly be the hardest part of the trip for them. But if they didn't do it, the group would not make it to the Pacific Ocean. Maps of the west were often not true. Men made up what they thought people would find in the west. Lewis and Clark had no idea what they were up against. Some of the maps from that time showed California as an island. Others showed the Rocky Mountains as something that would be easy to cross and most people thought that they would be easy to cross. Maps that Jefferson had looked like a single line of mountains. Once you got to the top, you would go down the other side and the trip would be over. The Rocky Mountains didn't work that way. There were several lines of mountains that the group would have to cross. On July 19, 1805, the group saw amazing cliffs. They haven't seen anything like them. The cliffs were about 1200 feet high. They went on for about 3 miles. It had looked like the river had carved a path just wide enough for it to go through the mountains. Lewis called this the "Gates of the Rocky Mountains."
