Lewis and Clark Trail
This is a longer hike than most people are willing to make, especially if you're bringing the kids along. Still the Lewis and Clark Trail is a significant part of United States history and the United States Geologic Survey is providing some amazing topographic maps to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the journey. From 1803-1806, Lewis and Clark traveled from St. Louis, MO to the Washington shores of the Pacific Ocean. Individual maps of key points along their route are available with some historic background on each waypoint on their map. This is a good history lesson in exploration or a good background in why it's important to prepare for unforeseen disasters along the way.
