The monument itself was very cool looking. The views of the Missouri River and the Loess Hills, spectacular. I was trying to imagine, what it must have been like for all of the brave men on the journey, camping along the Missouri river. Beautiful, I am sure. We went late evening, before sunset....watching the sunset was truly amazing there. I would highly recommend it.

Awesome, But even better when you stop at the Sioux City Lewis and Clark interprive Center, too. There's enough picnic tables around there you can even have a bit of a picnic there, too.
