Summary
| Description |
English: Natural Pool of Water in the Lewis and Clark Caverns in Three Forks Montana. Before the entry of Western explorers, the water was clear. After the entry of explorers and prospectors, its waters were dyed green by the metals it came in contact with. This picture was taken on a visit to the state park caverns with a phone. |

The Lewis and Clark Caverns are named so after the idea that the explorers had passed by twice on their journies, not knowing it existed. The Natives in the area had stories about it as in the winter, steam would rise out of the cave mouth which is the phenomenon that produced its discovery in the first place. Later on, it was bought out by Dan Morrison, a prospector, who turned it into an attraction for people to pay to see. It traded hands twice more before becoming part of the state park in Montana.
