The Lochsa River headwaters start north of Lolo Pass flowing to the west. On both the north and the south banks of the Lochsa River there is a dense forest. When Lewis and Clark followed the trail it was only a path used only by Native Americans and wild animals. The Lewis and Clark route was 160 miles long.”
