Missouri River Canyon, Montana, 1998

"The hills and river Clifts which we passed today exhibit a most romantic appearance.... With the help of a little immagination... [they] are made to represent eligant ranges of lofty freestone buildings.... it seemed as if those seens of visionary inchantment would never have and end."
—Meriwether Lewis

—From "Lewis and Clark," October 1998, National Geographic magazine
