...sportsman who wants to mix mountain climbing with his hunting, the ideal game is the bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goat that clamber over the fog-shrouded crags and ledges above the Rockies' timber line. Just getting to where they are is a test of a man's heart, lungs and stamina. Bagging these wily, sure-footed creatures is a rare feat; only 100 goats and 200 bighorn heads, the most prized of U.S. hunting trophies, were brought down last year...

For an instant the mist parted, and the men sighted the Pacific ("O! the joy," Clark noted). On the Oregon shore, they built a salt cairn and wintered. Clark cut his name on a pine tree and added (in case they didn't make it back): "By Land from the U. States in 1804 & 1805." They celebrated Christmas and New Year's among coastal tribes with flattened heads, who made life miserable by pilfering their supplies...
