First-class meals aboard the American Orient Express, a Spirit of Discovery cruise, or driving through small western towns with one stop light and five bars are a few surprises modern travelers may expect as they retrace portions of the four thousand mile Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail by backpack, bike, boat, bus, car, horse, or train. Travelers may encounter the Corps of Discovery II—three National Park Service tractor-trailers housing a traveling education center full of artifacts and electronic equipment—and gain a glimpse into the efforts of eleven federal agencies, multi-million dollar interpretive centers, tribal organizations, and other groups to revisit the places and retell the stories surrounding America's most famous expedition. |
