Summary of Research Results

Contributed by Steve F. Russell

In 2001 and 2002, Steve F. Russell and survey assistants, Theo Petersen and Matt Battani, hiked the trail followed by Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery from Lolo Pass, Idaho-Montana to Weippe, Idaho. This trail tread was recorded with a Trimble Pathfinder Pro XRS precision GPS to an accuracy of 3 meters. This book documents this effort and contains topographic maps of the trail along the entire route.
