Along the remote Touchet North Road, one can enjoy the overland route taken by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in May 1806. An interpretive sign tells the story:

“After leaving their camp one mile above the mouth of the Walla Walla River, on the Columbia River, the Corps of Discovery followed a good road over level country that would shorten their route to the Kooskooskie (Clearwater) River. The expedition traveled across what is now Walla Walla County, through an open level sandy plain which featured many large banks of pure sand, 15 to 30 feet high, which are still visible today. They soon came to a narrow bottom of a bold creek (Touchet River) 10 yards wide, and made camp near this site.”
