When their expedition ran out of food while traveling through the Bitterroot Mountains which are near the Rockies.
Meriwether Lewis who had been appointed to the rank of Captain, was designated as the expedition "scientist". Prior to the expedition, Lewis went to Philadelphia for intense training by physician Benjamin Rush, astronomer-surveyor Andrew Ellicott, botanist Benjamin Barton, anatomist Casper Wister, and mathematician Robert Patterson. For three months he was tutored in the spring of 1803. The skills that Lewis learned would be passed on to Clark as they traveled. Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. Clark also served mainly as the expedition "doctor" and co-writer of the Journals. He often traded medical care for food and eventually established a reputation among the natives for his skills. Finding a man with a tumor on his thigh who couldn't walk, Clark cleansed and dressed the wound and left him some soap to wash the sore. He soon got better and as Clark says "this man assigned the restoration of his leg to me."

Going across mountains, rivers, wildlife, gathering food, sometimes Indians, and even finding shelter.
The Indians helped Lewis and Clark by providing them with food, supplies, guidance, and valuable information on the terrain and wildlife they encountered during their expedition. Many Indian tribes also offered friendship and assistance in navigating unfamiliar territories.
Lewis and Clark extensively trained in mapmaking, navigation, and survival skills. They also gathered supplies such as clothing, tools, weapons, and trade goods. Additionally, they consulted with experts in various fields to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge for the journey.

Before their expedition, Meriwether Lewis served as personal secretary to President Thomas Jefferson, while William Clark was a seasoned frontiersman and a US Army officer. They both had experience with wilderness and exploration, which made them well-suited for the task of leading the Corps of Discovery.
