Not except in the sense that the Nile River could be in South America (which it is not). The Mississippi River runs from central Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, and is at no point particularly close to the Pacific Ocean.
The closest any major tributary of the Mississippi gets to the Pacific is the headwaters of the Gallatin River (one of the three rivers that combine to form the Missouri) in southwestern Montana. In order to reach the Pacific from there you'd still have to cross the Continental Divide.
to explore the Mississippi river and a route to the Pacific ocean
The Lewis and Clark Expedition explored the Louisiana Purchase territory.
The Pacific Ocean
going by the pacific ocean
yes, the route the took that led them most directly to the pacific ocean was the Columbia river.
No he did not find the route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, as he only made it to the rocky mountains. He did not cross them. thats right... i think
No, Lewis and Clark followed the Missouri River for most of their journey, not the Mississippi River. They explored the western portion of the United States in search of a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
Across Pacific ocean
they needed to help president jeferson and they helped him by finding the route
Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet hoped to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean while exploring the Mississippi River in the 17th century. They were searching for a quicker trade route to Asia.
The Northwest Passage from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean that Lewis and Clark sought after on the Discovery Corps Expedition does not exist. Another could be the sea route through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways along the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. There are also northwest passages to destinations, such as India.
