Many of the United States’ best rambling routes are well explored, yet some receive a lot less attention than others. One such is the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which the NPS lists as perhaps the most historically intriguing of the lot.
A sixteen-state, 4,900 mile marathon, it encapsulates much of what the Northern USA has to offer, and should be embarked on enthusiastically, albeit with a little caution. Interest in the trail has picked up internationally, with the trip recently featured by the UK’s Telegraph, so it’s a good time to get out there before the crowds arrive.
