During the autumn of 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery camped very near the basalt outcrop now named Horsethief Butte, a site in Columbia Hills Historical State Park along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. This butte is popular with climbers and a couple of trails, including the one pictured in this image, lead to portions of the outcrop more for climbers than hikers.
