The Land Holds a Thousand Stories
Move through the places where history was made, and listen to the echoes of the past.

For over a dozen years, Kevin has been guiding Lewis & Clark enthusiasts through the rivers, prairies, and mountains of Montana and Idaho. Bringing together research from historical, botanical, and archaeological sources, his goal is to put the famous early nineteenth Expedition in its proper context: the landscape in which it occurred and the indigenous cultures that shaped it.
