Located on the banks of Tower Creek about 12 miles from Salmon, Idaho, this site was homesteaded some years after the Lewis and Clark Expedition visited in 1805 and was donated back to the BLM in 2002. A picnic/day-use area in the homestead’s old apple orchard lies within view of the geologic formations that William Clark phonetically noted in his journal as “pirimids.” The BLM manages the 3-acre site to preserve the unique historic and geologic characteristics and maintain an undeveloped feel.

Between May 1804 and September 1806, Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery traveled 3,700 miles from the plains of the Midwest to the shores of the Pacific Ocean - and back. In their search for a water route to the Pacific, they opened a window on the West for the young United States.
