Working together to Commemorate and Protect

It is the mission of the National Park Service to preserve the remnants of the historic route of 1803-1806 Corps of Discovery Expedition located along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and to provide a comprehensive interpretation of its history, including the American Indian perspective, to allow for better visitor understanding and appreciation of its significance.

Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is committed to building true relations with all people, to learn from them, and to tell their stories with sensitivity and respect while working to preserve and protect our natural and cultural heritage for future generations.

While Lewis and Clark NHT administration and staff can plan, influence, and guide some of what occurs along the Lewis and Clark Trail, most activities, facilities, people and land resources are under the management and control of trail partners.

Leiws and Clark NHT depends on the relationships it has with its partners for good management decisions, quality interpretive and educational programming, pro-active preservation efforts, and recreational opportunities for visitors.
