	Lewis & Clark in Salmon Idaho ON August 12th, 1805, four members of the Lewis and Clark expedition came into the Lemhi valley over the Continental Divide at what is now called Lemhi Pass. They had discovered the end of the waters that flowed to the east, and were mistakenly thinking that the ocean lay just only a short ways to the west from this continental ridge. The Lewis and Clark Expedition were searching for the Shoshone Indians so they could trade for horses. Little did they realize that the tribe they were soon to meet was Sacajawea's long lost family and brother.  They were quickly successful in their quest for barter, and headed down the Lemhi Valley, following the Lemhi River, their first westward flowing waters. The party followed the Lemhi River through a lovely green valley until it reached the Salmon River. They thought they had found their way to the Western Sea and set out to follow the Salmon River westward. Down past what is today called the town of Shoup, they had to abandon the river as it proved too steep and dangerous to navigate. We now call the Salmon River the "River of No Return." With winter quickly coming on, they had to turn around and trek up over the mountains into Montana, looking for another way. They lost their way in an early fall snowstorm and to this day, this pass is called, "Lost Trail Pass." The town of Salmon, Idaho is proud of its Lewis and Clark heritage and celebrates the region as the birthplace of Sacajawea, one of the most famous women in history. We have an active and interesting Sacajawea Center, and yearly celebrate Sacajawea Heritage Days.  If you are looking for Real Estate values with a historical twinge, talk to the friendly agents at Robie Real Estate, they will show you properties along the breadth of the Lewis and Clark Trail, and other historic spots.
