 I've always thought about this and especially that part of America because it was so wilderness area during The Times of Lewis and Clark when they were traversing the rest of the United States for the government just imagine what it was to been like crossing the plains and coming up to the Rocky mountains Seeing how our beautiful everything was at that time

 Absolutely.  What is so unreal is to see the same undeveloped land as they saw it.  The Plains Indians varied in their response to the bands of people traveling to the West.  Some of the stories can still be heard from by a few   Rendezvous types that are still kicking around.  I know one that taught Wyoming history at small schoolhouses that were still going as late as the 90s.
