SYNOPSIS
(back to main)

Two modern day adventurers fly a kit-built plane that resembles a green “canoe in the sky” across America to retrace the epic journey of Lewis and Clark.

Traveling low and slow, professional photographer and pilot Ron Lowery and writer and pilot Mary Walker flew above the same great rivers that Lewis and Clark explored to capture incredible vistas from the air and celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Corps of Discovery’s odyssey across the continent. The result is a photography and adventure book for pilots, history buffs and arm-chair travelers, Chasing Lewis and Clark Across America: A 21st Century Aviation Adventure.

Using the rivers to guide them, the modern-day adventurers crossed the magnificent prairies and western mountains of America along a historic route that is still endlessly fascinating.
The book contains more than 180 dramatic photographs of landscapes eroded into living sculptures, magnificent bighorn sheep on steep canyon walls, herds of buffalo grazing across golden plains, restored forts, and lush green fields and magnificent rivers along Lewis and Clark’s cross-country route.
