Lemhi Pass
The Shoshone tribe's help.
August 11-12 1805
Lewis and Clark first crossed the Continental Divide on June 24, 1805, at Lemhi Pass in present-day Montana. This was a significant milestone in their expedition as it marked their passage from the eastward-flowing rivers to westward-flowing ones.
They used their skills and ability to get past the Continental Divide. Sacajawea really helped them , because her brother was the chief. They found food on the way to help them survive.
No, Lewis and Clark only explored from the east coast of the continental United States to the west coast of the continental United States.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were their names.
They asked Sacagawea and she helped them.
During the time before they reached the continental divide and after they passed on the return trip, no. During the time they were in the rockies, yes. Between the rockies and the pacific, sort of.
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.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition started at St. Louis and went up the Missouri River. When could not follow the river further, they bargained with the Native Americans for horses and crossed the Continental Divide. Then they followed the Snake River to the Pacific Ocean.
