In our summer travel series, Ty's Travels on a Tank, Reporter Ty Perry heads out to find summer vacation destinations that can be reached on a tank of gas or less. Today, Ty hits the trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail.

Salmon Idaho is home to the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural and Educational Center, a 71 acre park that provides anything you ever wanted to know about the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Director, Angie Hurley, Sacajawea Center:

"The strength of the center is it's outdoor interpretation."

"When you're on the sight you can actually see the trail of when Lewis and Clark were by here 200 years ago."

And if just seeing where the explorers walked isn't enough, the outdoor school at the Center gives you a chance to live how they lived.

Hurley:

"Primitive living skills. People in the time of Lewis and Clark, in the 1800's, how they might have survived."

The outdoor school gives visitors a chance to see how they would have faired as an explorer.

Hurley:

"101 ways you can use a cat-tail. You can use them as food, clothing and shelter."

And the experience shows you just how exhausted Lewis and Clark must have been.

The Sacajawea Center also gives people a chance to learn more about a very famous Idahoan

Mayor Stan Davis, Salmon:

"Sacajawea was born in this valley."

Hurley:

"The Interpretive Center has information about Sacajawea and her people the Agai Dika Shoshone."

Sacajawea was a native to the Salmon River Valley and for the past 3 years at the Center, Mike Crosby has been giving presentations about how important she was to the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Ranger Mike Crosby, U.S. Forest Service:

"It was the advice that she gave to Captain Lewis, I believe, that really made a difference in his success."

And everyone involved with the Center says a place like this is necessary, to celebrate and to commemorate the most famous native Idahoan in history.

Crosby:

"This is a woman who wasn't just an important Shoshone woman; she wasn't just an important Idahoan; this is one of the most important and certainly most famous women in American history."

Davis:

"I think she's a national icon. Not only is she a great American, she's a great Native American and a great Idahoan."

Be sure to join us next Thursday night, for the last episode of Ty's Travels on a Tank.

And next Thursday morning will also be our last drawing for $50 worth of free gas.
