Captain Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition provided this concise description of the Bitterroot River in September, 1805, "It is a handsome stream of very clear water, the banks are low and its bed entirely gravel." The Bitterroot River retains much of the original beauty which early trappers and explorers frequently recounted.
