How many miles did the corps of discovery travel?

Answer 1

The Corps of Discovery, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, traveled approximately 8,000 miles during their expedition from 1804 to 1806. They journeyed from St. Louis, Missouri, up the Missouri River, across the Rocky Mountains, and down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, before returning to St. Louis. Their expedition significantly contributed to the westward expansion of the United States and enhanced knowledge of the region's geography and indigenous cultures.
