A milestone in American exploration. ‘Ocian in view! O! The joy.’
At USA’s Ecola State Park, you can walk in the steps of legendary explorers Merriweather Lewis and Lewis Clark, who arrived at the Pacific in mid-November of 1805. It was 1 year, 6 months, and a day since the start of the Corps of Discovery Expedition, President Thomas Jefferson’s visionary mission to explore the Pacific Northwest. Upon seeing the ocean, Clark wrote in his journal: ‘Ocian in view! O! The joy.’
