Description:
In 1804, an expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark ì
departed Camp Wood, Illinois, on a journey to discover the source ì
of the great Missouri River and map a path to the Pacific Ocean. ì
Traveling by canoe, on horseback, and on foot, the Corps of ì
Discovery completed its mission successfully, returning safely to ì
St. Louis, Missouri, in 1806. Bicycling the Lewis & Clark ì
Trail is the cyclist's indispensable handbook to the route of ì
the Lewis and Clark expedition. Filled with detailed maps, ì
information on road surfaces and traffic, and a wealth of ì
historical detail, it guides the modern adventurer through the ì
spectacular country first recorded by Lewis and Clark.
Retrace Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's historic expedition ì from the saddle of the ultimate touring machine - your bicycle. ì From Hartford, Illinois (outside St. Louis) to Astoria, Oregon, ì at the mouth of the Columbia River, the Lewis & Clark Trail ì passes through eleven states and winds more than 3,200 miles. As ì it traverses the Missouri and Columbia river basins, the trail ì skirts corn and wheat fields, rolls across high prairie, descends ì into deep gorges, and penetrates Pacific Northwest rain forest. ì And all along the way, there are reminders of the Corps of ì Discovery's epic journey.
Bicycling the Lewis & Clark Trail is a collaborative ì effort by outdoor and travel writer Michael McCoy, cycling ì photographer Dennis Coello, and the Adventure Cycling ì Association. With this guide the staff of Adventure Cycling's ì Routes and Mapping Department share their route-finding and ì cartographic skills with anyone ready to pack their panniers, ì climb in the saddle, and aim their bicycle westward. Inside ì you'll discover: forty daily ride sections ranging from 45 to 113 ì miles in length, each with a route map and mileage log; details ì on each section of the ride, including riding conditions, ì terrain, and distance; vivid descriptions of attractions and ì other points of interest; more than fifty scenic color and ì black-and-white photographs. Whether you're an experienced ì bicycle tourist or someone looking for a new way to explore ì history, this guide will give you the information you need to ì take on the challenge of cycling the Lewis & Clark Trail.
