They left in May 1804. At first, they travelled by boat along the Missouri River. Several months later,
they reached Dakota and they spent the winter there. The following spring, Lewis and Clark
continued their journey. They didnt know the land and they needed help. A Native American woman
offered to guide them. Her name was Sacagawea and she was from the Shoshone Native American
tribe.
Lewis and Clark wanted to learn as much as possible about the land. They made maps of the
mountains and rivers, kept careful notes and journals and collected examples of new animals and
plants to send back home to learn about them. Sacagawea helped Lewis and Clark because she knew
all the plants and animals in the forest..
In November 1805, they finally reached the Pacific Ocean in the west. They stayed there for the
winter and started their journey home again in March 1806. It took them around six months to get
home. The total journey was 13,000 km.
