Camp Long History
On the return journey from the Pacific coast, Lewis & Clark were forced to spend four weeks with the Nez Perce Indians waiting for the snow to melt in the Bitterroot mountains (14 May 1806-10 Jun 1806). Their camp was called Camp Long or Camp Chopunnish. The camp was abandoned on 10 Jun 1806 when they resumed the return journey.
