Later, when they were back in Station Camp, members of the party marked their names on alder trees near the camp. Meriwether Lewis used a branding iron to mark his name on one of the trees. Of course, the original trees marked by the Corps of Discovery are no longer standing, but many alders can be seen along the hills adjacent to the river in this area.
