Explore Southwestern Wyoming

The Overland Trail was an old stagecoach route established in 1862 to avoid the Indian uprisings which were occurring on the Oregon Trail farther north through central Wyoming. The Overland trail became the only emigrant route on which the United States Government would allow travel to the west from 1862 to 1868. If you would like to find out more about the history of the trail, check out this website.
