The Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation (LCTHF), Portage Route Chapter, and Montana River Outfitters (MRO) are proud to offer a Missouri River Canoe Trip experience through the White Cliffs along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail! Join us July 13 to 15, 2020, for a fun and historic “glamping” trip! The cost is $1,500 for LCTHF members, and $1,600 for non-members (one-year membership included). This fee includes nightly tent set up and breakdowns, cot with air mattress, and three delicious meals prepared for you while you and friends, old and new, paddle, hike, explore, read the historic Journals around a campfire, and enjoy pristine vistas as seen by Lewis and Clark. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due with RSVP by May 31, 2020, and the remaining amount is due June 30, 2020. Limited availability, call today to reserve your spot!
On Thursday, July 16, we will spend a half day at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, and then make a trip to the First Peoples Buffalo Jump. On Friday, July 17, we will meet Larry Epstein at the 2 Medicine Fight Site* for a narrated tour you won’t want to miss!
Lunch provided for both day trips. *Weather permitting
