She traveled across the U.S. and was the first white woman over the rocky mountains.
The explorers who traveled farthest west were likely the Spanish explorers, such as Ferdinand Magellan, who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. Magellan's journey took him across the Pacific Ocean, reaching the Philippines before his death. Additionally, explorers like Sir Francis Drake and later American expeditions during the Age of Exploration also ventured into the far western territories of the Americas and the Pacific.
Christopher Columbus is one of the most well-known explorers who crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Americas in 1492. He encountered various indigenous civilizations, including the Taíno people in the Caribbean. On the Pacific side, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe, reaching the Philippines in 1521 and making contact with local tribes. Both explorers played pivotal roles in opening the Americas to European exploration and colonization.
The Canadian National Railway (CNR) was built to connect eastern and western Canada, facilitating transportation and trade across the vast country. Completed in 1929, it linked major cities and regions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, significantly contributing to the economic development and unity of Canada. The railway played a crucial role in the settlement of western provinces and remains a vital component of Canada's transportation infrastructure.

In between the western hemisphere and Asia (if you travel west) is the Pacific Ocean. If you travel east from the western hemisphere you would encounter Europe first, before you get to Asia, so Asia is not exactly across the Atlantic. But you can get to Asia directly, by going across the Pacific.
