Salmon River Scenic Byway - William Clark’s Reconnaissance - National Scenic Byways on Waymarking.com

U.S. Forest Service interpretive site about 20 miles north of Salmon, Idaho along U.S. Hwy. 93 at North Fork.
Text from Byway sign for this location: “William Clark turned west along the Salmon River at this point to consider a water route through the mountains. About 12 miles from here, Clark looked out over the Salmon River on August 22nd, 1805 and determined that the river route was impassable. Clark returned to meet Lewis at the Shoshone camp along the Lemhi River on August 27, 1805. A three panel interpretive kiosk tells the story of the Down River Reconnaissance.”
Nearby is a monument for Toby, the Indian guide.
The Salmon River Scenic Byway extends from Stanley, Idaho to Lost Trail Pass for a total distance of 161.7 miles.
