Nebraska and Wyoming contain some incredible landmarks along the Oregon-California Trail. Approximately 300,000 emigrants saw these very sights as they ventured west for a better life and even gold during the years 1841 - 1899. The Platte River, Jail and Courthouse Rocks, Chimney Rock, and the deep trail ruts in Guernsey, Wyoming where wagons could only pass in single file are just a few notable places along this 2,000 mile monument to the human spirit.
