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 October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis. In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide, and headed west along the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon. The expedition then ended on September 23, 1806 upon their return to St. Louis from Oregon.
If you believe that the expedition began in Pittsburgh, then it took 2 years and 25 days.
If you believe that the expedition began when Clark joined then it took 1 year 11 months and 11 days.
The Lewis (Meriwether Lewis;29) and Clark (William Clark;33) expedition took exactly 2 years, 4 months, and 9 days. Sacajawea was with them 2 years of the trip. They thought it would only take till the fall (they started in march), but they didn't realize how big the land was

two years
Despite their accomplishments, Lewis and Clark had little real effect on the course of history. Their journals were published nearly 10 years after the expedition, while the country was distracted by the War of 1812, and the publication omitted the most salient information; the wealth of scientific and anthropological data. By the time the Lewis and Clark journals were satisfactorily rendered, in 1894, the West had been long settled, without the help or need of the help. Frankly, the confluence of social forces at the time would have precipitated Westward movement notwithstanding Lewis and Clark; they didn't really matter. See Manifest Destiny.

William Clark explored with Meriwether Lewis as part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 to 1806.
President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition, not long after he bought the Louisiana territory from Napoleon.
They both traveled a long way
Sacagawea, Shoshone Native American woman, acted as translator and guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 and 1806. She is generally credited with leading the expedition over the rockies.Another View:The expression 'led' in relation to exploration expeditions in normal language refers to the expedition leaders, not the guides.So the answer is Lewis and Clark.
