On July 25, 1806, William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition visited Pompeys Pillar, carving his name and date upon the rock.

“. . . this rock I ascended and from it’s top had a most extensive view in every direction. . . . The nativs have ingraved on the face of this rock the figures of animals &c. near which I marked my name and the day of the month & year.”

— From the original journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition

Today, visitors can stand in the footsteps of Captain Clark while looking at his signature, visit the monument’s magnificent visitor center, walk along the Yellowstone River, enjoy an interpretive program led by a skilled ranger, or stand on top of Pompeys Pillar and take in the beautiful scenery of Yellowstone County, Montana.
