The Lewis and Clark Expedition ended because Meriwether Lewis and William Clark finished the journey to the Pacific Ocean and back to Missouri. The President Thomas Jefferson asked them to explore the land, plants and animals in that unexplored region. They figured out the longitude and latitude of certain places and took samples of plants and animals along the way. They had a Shoshoni native American named Sacagawea that went with them. She helped them navigate the land and also acted as an interpreter to Native American tribes that they encountered. She had her son as when they were on the expedition. Lewis and Clark became famous for their exploring of the Lousiana Territory.

Lewis and Clark's expedition stopped when they reached the Pacific Ocean in November 1805, as it was their goal to reach the west coast. They spent the winter at Fort Clatsop in present-day Oregon before beginning their return journey to St. Louis in March 1806.
