The Lewis and Clark National Forest stretches across central and north-central Montana within the upper Missouri River system, a landscape rich in both natural beauty and history. Named after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the forest traces parts of their famous expedition through these lands and waterways.

Elevations range from about 4,500 feet to 9,362 feet at the summit of Rocky Mountain Peak, creating dramatic variety along the terrain. Broad prairies give way to rugged ridgelines and soaring mountain peaks, while open grassy parks and alpine meadows are framed by dense forests of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine. The result is a vast, wild setting that feels timeless, expansive, and deeply connected to America’s early exploration.
