Lewis and Clark chose to travel primarily by river for several reasons, including the ease of navigation and the ability to transport supplies and equipment efficiently. Rivers provided a natural route through the rugged terrain, allowing the expedition to cover greater distances while minimizing the challenges posed by land travel. Additionally, using rivers facilitated communication and exploration of the surrounding landscapes, enhancing their ability to gather information about the territories they encountered.
