A colleague of mine is
biking the Lewis & Clark trail this summer,
and her periodical emails to all of us back East are full of enthusiastic and vivid descriptions of her journey. She
will wrap up the trip right around Labor Day in Astoria, OR, after 80+ days on the road.
In an update she sent last week, she mentioned the
maps from the
Adventure Cycling Association that she is using to navigate her way. The
ACA site is a great place to start
research if you are considering a similar trek. Earlier this summer, Erik pointed us to a cool collection of
satellite photos of the trail. Other resources to help
plan a bike or hike of any portion of this 4,600+ mile trail include:
Lewis & Clark’s Historic Trail
Lewis & Clark Heritage Foundation
National Park Service Lewis & Clark Info
