When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later.
In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 5 1805.
The explorers began their journey home on March 23, 1806. On July 3, after crossing the Continental Divide, the Corps split into two teams so Lewis could explore the Marias River. Sacagawea and her husband stayed with Clark's team until they reached the Hidatsa villages.

How far did Lewis and Clark travel in a day?
About 15 miles per day
What would have happened if Sacagawea wasn't at the Lewis and Clark Expedition?
If Sacajawea was not with Lewis and Clark they probably would not have made it as far as they did. Sacajawea is very important to national history.
Was Sacagewea forced to guide Lewis and Clark?
Not at all, far from it actually. Lewis and Clark in fact highly respected her even though she was a Native American and a young woman. She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe. Lewis and Clark respected her more as a comrade than her husband, a French trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark didn't like how Toussaint treated Sacagawea, and after the expedition, Clark would be the one to raise and educate her son at a time when there was absolutely no opportunity for education for Native Americans.
What time did the Lewis and Clark expedition leave St. Louis?
In the Lewis and Clark journals it does not state specifically at what time Lewis and Clark left St. Louis. However, most of the time Lewis preferred to leave in the early morning to travel as far as possible. But it had rained during the first half of the day, so it can be supposed that Lewis and Clark left perhaps around 10:00 am rather than their usual 7:00 or 8:00 am.

What obstacles did Lewis and Clark face?
In their epic journey into unexplored America in the first decade of the 19th century, Lewis and Clark faced many serious obstacles to success. Foremost among these were the threat from hostile Native tribes, the severity of winter and summer weather in the wilds, the possibility of injury or illness far from adequate medical care, and of course the simple fact of "the unknown": they did not know how far they would need to travel, nor even if they stood any real chance of success at finding a viable passage to the Pacific Ocean.
Which exploration crossed into territory belonging to a Europeans nation?
It was Lewis and Clark's Voyage of Discovery which began in 1804. With the Louisiana Purchase completed in 1803, the French had ceded their territory to the U.S. The British claimed much of what later became the Oregon Territory, although there were also French and American trappers in the area. Spain still claimed much of the area southwest of the Louisiana Territory, but the expedition did not travel that far south. So I suspect it was British territory that Lewis & Clark ventured in to.pike 1806-1807
