The Lewis & Clark Expedition (May 1804 - September 1806) was the first American undertaking to cross the western section of the United States. It began near St. Louis and continued westward, through the continental divide to reach the Pacific Coast. The expedition consisted of a select group of US Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark.

In October 1805 the Expedition crossed into what is now the modern State of Washington, and traveled down the meandering Columbia River which, at that time was laden with rapids and other challenging obstacles. After traveling through the lower Columbia Valley, the explorers crossed into Oregon on March 1806 and continued their expedition towards the Pacific Ocean.
