DeSoto and Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuges
I learned today, DeSoto and Boyer Chute still serve as important resting areas, but it is for the thousands of migratory birds that fly through the area every spring and fall. The rangers told me that many of these migratory birds depend on wetlands as places to stop, rest, and feed during their long journey. I got to visit one of the wetlands at DeSoto and got to see lots of resting and feeding birds I am glad they have restored these wetlands for wildlife, but I prefer resting in my dog carrier!
I had a great time at DeSoto and Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuges. I am glad to know that there are places set aside for wildlife. Hopefully I’ll visit another National Wildlife Refuge along my journey up the Missouri River!

This map shows a range of features associated with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which commemorates the 1803-1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition. The trail spans a large portion of the North American continent, from the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon. The trail is comprised of the historic route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, an auto tour route, high potential historic sites (shown in black), visitor centers (shown in orange), and pivotal places (shown in green). These features can be selected on the map to reveal additional information. Also shown is a base map displaying state boundaries, cities, rivers, and highways. The map conveys how a significant area of the North American continent was traversed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition and indicates the many places where visitors can learn about their journey and experience the landscape through which they traveled.
