Clark's Mountain - Tillamook Head



		On January 6, 1806, Clark, with twelve soldiers plus Charbonneau, Sacagawea, and her baby, set out from Fort Clatsop to see the dead whale that Indians had reported on the beach south of "Clark's Mountain." On the 7th, as they climbed over the 1,136-foot headland, Clark paused at a scenic viewpoint some 650 precipitous feet above the surf.
