Day 23; Lochsa River and Lolo Pass

Friday
At Fish Creek it had rained heavily in the night - our first rain since arriving in the States! So the morning by the river was delightfully misty. We left our lovely little camping spot by the river and completed our drive up the Lochsa Valley, Where every turn of the road brings a new and beautiful view of the river and its heavily wooded valley.
where we crossed over into Montana via the Lolo Pass, as coincidentally did Lewis and Clark in late September of 1805 and the Nez Perce Indians in July of 1877. This pass is also the boundary for the Pacific and Mountain time zones, so we had to put our clocks one hour forward. We stopped at the Visitor Center at the top of the pass and watched another video of Lewis and Clark, and also learned more about the Nez Perce Indians, this time with a group of school children, whose favourite question afterwards was ask "how did Lewis and Clark die?"
