Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea Statues (Lewiston)

Back in your vehicle, reverse back north out of the parking lot, turn right onto 7th Ave., right onto 8th St., and left onto 11st Ave. Turn left onto 21st St. and after 8th Ave., turn right into the lot for the McDonald’s and the Hells Canyon Grand Hotel and park on the western side. Do not attempt to park right at the sculptures nearby. On foot and without crossing 21st St., walk down the hill toward the river to the art work at the major intersection below.

J. Shirly Bothum created these bronze sculptures, which depict Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea on their westward journey after emerging from the Bitterroot Mountains. In January 2003, while installing the Sacagawea statue, Bothum was stricken with a fatal heart attack. His friends completed installation of the Lewis and Clark statues and they were unveiled on Earth Day, April 22, 2003.
