Overview

This trip focuses on the emigration and mining history found in the unique South Pass area: the zenith for westbound emigrants on the Oregon, California, Mormon, and Pony Express National Historic Trails. The region was a nexus for indigenous peoples, fur trappers, early government explorers, and early homesteaders. Five cycles of boom-and-bust gold, mineral, and ore mining have dotted the landscape with unique historical treasures.
