Although they did travel the road, Lewis and Clark were certainly not the first, nor did they create it. Wilderness Road, along with its northern exrtension the Great Wagon Road, was the main road through the Shenandoah valley to southwestern Virginia and on to the Cumberland Gap and Kentucky. Both Lewis and Clark and their parties, including some Native American chiefs, traveled this route when they came to Virginia and Washington in the 1806-07 period and later. As more and more settlers headed to Kentucky before and after the Revolution, the road was improved to be be able to handle wagons. It remained the major land route from the east to the Ohio valley for many years.
