The Lolo is passable only from July to midSeptember. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7, 033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner.

In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.(1)According to the passage, the word trek in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.
