Mormon Trail Oregon Trail California Trail & Pony Express (~5 miles) The Mormon Trail commemorates the 1846-1847 journey of the Mormon people from Navuvoo, Illinois, to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. The designated corridor is almost 1300 miles long and is managed as a cooperative effort among private landowners.
The Oregon Trail extended from Independence, Missouri to the Columbia River. More than 300,000 people traveled the route between 1840 and 1869.
Between 1841 and 1869, more than a quarter million people crossed the plains and mountains to the "El Dorado" of the West. By 1849the lure of instant wealthand tales of gold beckoned at the end of the 2,000 mile California Trail.
The Pony Express, though in operation only 18 months, was a vital form of communication. In those pre-telegraph days of 1860, riders carried mail on 10-day , 2000 mile routes from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California, and back, crossing the mountains and plains of Wyoming.

Big Sandy Reservoir (~10 miles)

Big Sandy Reservoir and Dam are located on Big Sandy Creek, which is a popular recreation/camping area for local residents.

Killpecker Sand Dunes (~20 miles)
The Killpecker Sand Dunes are known for being one of nature's largest sand dunes in the US and can be seen from the Highway in Farson and driven to on county roads. However, I would not recommend taking your brand new luxury sports car there. The roads are lengthy, unpaved and can be affected by the extreme weather conditions. There is an established recreational camping area at the dunes that has parking, pit toilets, and running water. There is an off-road vehical area for four-wheelers or dune buggy's on the dunes. If you decide to take a visit to these dunes, you will notice on the way the core of an ancient volcano called Boar's Tusk. It protrudes straight out of the ground within a small distance from the dunes. You can't miss it! Both are worth the extra drive if you are in the area.

Wind River Mountain Range (~40 miles)

Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge (~28 miles)First Hunters arrived in this area as the great continental ice sheets were receding to the north. To survive, they constantly hunted and gathered whatever food was available. They stamped out trails along the rivers and streams as they followed great heards of bison and pronghorn that migrated within this area.

The refuge was established by Congress in 1965 to help offset the loss of marshlands habitat resulting from the construction of both the Fontenelle Dam and the Flaming Gorge Dam which is about 100 miles downstream in Utah. Since 1965, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge managers have used methods such as prescribed burning, flood irrigating, native grass planting and fencing to enhance this valuable wildlife habitat and restore the lands to the condition similar to that in the days of the Oregon Trail.5
