According to the historic signboard, after leaving their camp one mile above the mouth of the Walla Walla River on the Columbia River, the Corps of Discovery followed a good road over level country that would shorten their route to the Clearwater River. The Lewis & Clark Expedition traveled across what is now Walla Walla County, through an open level sandy plain. They soon came to the narrow bottom of a Bold Creek (Touchet River) about 30 feet wide, and made camp near this site on April 30, 1806.
