Lolo Pass Patch
- Throughout history, people have crossed through and used the Lolo Pass area of the Bitterroot Mountains.  Native Americans on their way to hunt buffalo or fish for salmon stopped to dig camas roots and gather food in the rich meadows near Lolo Pass.  Lewis and Clark camped nearby on their journey to the Pacific.  Trappers traveled through to run their trap lines.  Companies attempted to build railroads across the Pass.  Eventually the Lewis and Clark Highway was constructed in 1962.  What a great highway to ride your motorcycle, RV or your car.

The
Nez Perce
Protected
Historic Trail
follows the route taken by a large group of the

Trails System Act and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
