On advice from friends in Missoula, we took the scenic route to Yellowstone via Lewis and Clark Caverns.

Explorers Meriwether Lewis & William Clark passed close but never actually knew the 50mi+ of limestone caves existed.

The tourist experience walking through stalactites and stalagmites is recommended and entertaining, as it most often is in American tourist attractions.

We heard that Lewis and Clark were gay — not that there is anything wrong with that.
