Experience  Three  Days on a Wagon Train Trek and or  Ride on The Pony Express Trail

​

Yellowstone 1883 Wagon Train is like our Three Day Wagon Train

The Old Oregon Trail is an incredible journey... The covered wagon is a symbol of the Western expansion of the United States. In May 1843, the first large migration left Missouri. They traveled across unassigned Indian territory in what is now Wyoming, over South Pass to Oregon Country. 500,000 pioneers loaded up the wagons with all they could carry and headed West throughout the mid-1800's. These pioneers came from all over the world to settle in a new land, later to become these United States.

We visit historic landmarks and trail markers, travel in the footsteps of famous mountain men like Jim Bridger and Bill Sublette, walk in the footprints of the pioneers who settled the west, as the majestic Wind River Mountains to the North West watch over us.
