They sailed up the Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean to the interior of Oregon, but, they had to walk over the Rocky Mountains by foot. There is no river that goes from the Pacific Ocean to the Missouri/Mississippi river. They did not take a boat from Oregon down the Pacific side of the Americas and back to Washington DC. (around the southern tip of South America).

How did clark's return route differ from Lewis?

Clark's return route differed from Lewis's primarily in its path and approach to the Missouri River. While Lewis followed a more direct route along the river, Clark took a more circuitous route, opting to explore the northern regions and navigate through different terrain. Additionally, Clark's expedition faced various challenges, including encounters with Native American tribes and the need to gather supplies, which influenced his trajectory compared to Lewis's more straightforward return. Ultimately, Clark's route provided valuable insights into the geography and peoples of the area.
