Across the West from South Dakota to Donner Pass, California |
This report, with maps, covers the details of a
trip I made from the Missouri River in South Dakota to Donner Pass in California.
My intention was to follow the route of as many trails as possible. I took
hundreds of photos and recorded accurate GPS waypoints for many geographical
locations. The states I traveled through were Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming,
Utah Nevada, and Califormia. The trails I documented in my travels were: 1) 1811-1812 Oregon Trail (Wilson Hunt & Astorians) Donner Party Hastings Cutoff Pony Express Central Overland Trail Mormon Trail Union Pass, Wyoming |
