Rugged Mountain Crossing - Montana Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

One of a group of interpretive signs at Lost Trail Pass Rest Area.
Text of Sign: 10,000 Years of Travel
You are standing on the edge of millions of acres of the wildest, most rugged land in the lower 48 States. Even so, people have lived and traveled here for 10,000 years.
In all that time, the Salish and other tribes rarely ventured over Lost Trail Pass. For centuries the pass over the continental divide, now known as Gibbons Pass, was the primary travel route for both Indians and settlers.
Gibbons Pass lost its importance in the 1930s when US Highway 93 was carved out of the mountains over Lost Trail Pass.

Describe the area and history: Sign is located near the summit of Lost Trail Pass.
