The Trip Planner is meant to be used together with the Lewis and Clark Road Trips book. As tourists who traveled the Lewis and Clark Trail with multiple GPS navigation systems, a laptop computer, and the backseat of the car piled high with maps and brochures, we designed this book to be handy. The Web site is designed to be handy in a different way.
The Web Site Trip Planner
Introductory orienting maps for the ten regions
Click through to 79 destination travel hubs

The Book Trip Planner
Attractions have been geographically grouped into ten regions and 79 destination travel hubs
Facing pages have destination information opposite to their travel maps and driving directions
The type for text and maps is large enough to be read without a magnifying glass
Interstate exit numbers are listed
Hours, prices, season of operation are given
Phone numbers make it convenient to call ahead to confirm plans
When planning a road trip and while traveling, a choice of options is helpful. One pleasure of taking a road trip is you can do what you want, arrange your own itinerary, and follow your own time table. The combination of the book and the website allows for the best trip planning. We welcome any tips and suggestions you may have for improving the book and the Web site. Please contact us.
