Description
The Oregon Trail was a 2,170-mile east-west, large-wheeled wagon route and emigrant trail in the United States that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon. The eastern part of the trail spanned part of what is now the state of Kansas and nearly all of what are now the states of Nebraska and Wyoming. These tracks heading up the hill are from covered wagons that have successfully reached the bottom of Windless Hill in Nebraska and are on their way to Scott's Bluff and then onward to Fort Laramie in Wyoming.
The wagon train caravan was organized by settlers in the United States for emigration to the west during the late 18th and most of the 19th centuries. Composed of up to 100 Conestoga wagons, traveling in these trains soon became the prevailing mode of long-distance overland transportation for both people and goods. As wagon train transportation moved westward with the advancing frontier in the 19th century, the development of famous routes as the Santa Fe Trail, Oregon Trail, Smoky Hill Trail, California Trail and the Southern Overland Mail route.
