Overview
Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures has been the leader in connecting travelers to the rivers and trails of the historic expedition of Lewis & Clark through Montana and Idaho. Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures offers you the chance to confront the same obstacles, to enjoy the same triumphs, and to walk the same path that Lewis and Clark traveled. They have carefully chosen areas for you to explore, and choose your path: multi-day journeys on the scenic Main Salmon and Missouri Rivers and the historic Lolo Trail; one-day excursions on the Lochsa and Clark Fork Rivers or a combination of land and river.
Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures offers active adventures with a personal touch. They take pride in the fact that many guests have been with them before and return for new adventures. Whatever your adventure: paddling a canoe in the gentle meandering wake of Lewis & Clark on the Upper Missouri; gazing across the rugged Bitterroot Range after a long hike on the Lolo Trail; navigating the free-flowing Salmon River; feeling the rush of big whitewater on the Lochsa River you will remember meals prepared with care, time shared with old friends and new ones and the rejuvenating feeling that only comes from spending a week in the wilderness.
Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures was founded by Wayne Fairchild, after graduating from the University of Montana in 1989. Wayne decided to start an outdoor recreation business that allowed him to share his enthusiasm for history and adventure. Every year Wayne and wife, Gia, travel along the Lewis and Clark Trail or travel abroad, gaining experience and learning about new people and places as a way to put their experience in context. Wayne and Gia oversee the organization of your trip based from Missoula, as well as guide some of the trips. They are happy to share their knowledge, and hope that you will enjoy traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail with them.
