What states did Lewis and Clark go through?
Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis.
And being that the expedition began in Pittsburgh, states they passed through would include: Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, then Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. So they traveled through 6 states before reaching Missouri, and then 9 more states after that.
If you don't believe me that the expedition began in Pittsburgh and NOT St. Louis, then follow the related link to the Louis and Clark Journals' first entry. As we all know, the common American history textbook likes to smudge the details.

How many people visit the rocky mountains each year?
Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the many National Parks in the United States that has more than 3 million visitors each year. This large number of visitors, combined with decreasing funds, leaves the Park with the challenge of too much to do - and not enough people to do it! Over the years, Rocky Mountain National Park has developed an extensive "Volunteers In Parks" program to supplement the work force at the Park. As one of the largest volunteer programs in the Park Service, RMNP had 1,565 volunteers in Fiscal Year 1997. These volunteers worked a total of 72,321 hours, for a monitary value of approximately $928,000. The volunteers are of all different ages and come from all areas of the country and the world. So what do these volunteers do in the Park? Read below for a description of the many volunteer opportunities available at Rocky Mountain National Park.
What were thoughts that entered in Lewis and Clark's mind when they gazed at the Rocky Mountains?
On May 26th, 1805, Lewis fatigued from climbing over the river hills, described his reaction thus:
"I thought myself well repaid for any labor, as from this point I beheld the Rocky Mountains for the first time. I could only discover a few of the most elevated points above the horizon. These points of the Rocky mountains were covered with snow and the sun shone on it in such manner as to give me the most plain and satisfactory view. While I viewed these mountains I felt a secret pleasure in finding myself so near the head of the heretofore conceived boundless Missouri; but when I reflected on the difficulties which this snowy barrier would most probably throw in my way to the Pacific, and the sufferings and hardships of myself and party in them, it in some measure counterbalanced the joy I felt in the first moments in which I gazed on them. But as I have always held it a crime to anticipate evils I will believe it a good comfortable road until I am compelled to believe differently."
The mountains he was seeing, sadly, were the Bear Paws, and not the Rockies, but the passage in the journals remains a touching one.
