I live further west than the Divide, more like Lewis & Clark's nightmare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterroot_Mountains They stumbled around following branches of the Missouri, more or less lost. Wise woman guide, Sacajawea, was just as lost. Supposedly finally recognized the area around Lolo but the fun was just beginning. https://www.nps.gov/places/lolo-trail-mt-id.htm It took until 1962 before the portion of US 12 that follows the trail was completed. There was a lot of interest during the bicentennial of the expedition and a trail from Howard Creek to Lolo pass was patched together and called the L&C trail. I've no idea how accurate it is. It crosses the creek once but is otherwise up on the ridges. The Travelers Rest camp at Lolo is one of the few spots that are pinned down. L&C used Dr. Rush's Thunderbolt to cure everything and they left a mercury signature at the latrine. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/historic-latrines-help-archeologists- retrace-the-lewis-and-clark-trail.htm
