TRAIL
RUTS
Location: .5 miles from Guernsey, Wyoming along Highway 26
These trail ruts are the best preserved along the Oregon Trail.
The deep trail ruts where created by the movement of emigrants along the
mighty Oregon Trail. There are other trail ruts in Wyoming by
these where cut into solid rock and truly bring home the magnitude of
the journey along the Oregon Trail.
This historical landmark is easily excusable and just down the road from
Guernsey State Park.
GUERNSEY
STATE PARK
Well been touring about like a mad woman. Left Golden six days ago and
began heading towards Montana. We spent a day at Guernsey State Park in
Eastern Wyoming. Growing up in Colorado I had heard of how amazing
Guernsey State Park is and finally had the
opportunity to test it out. The water at Guernsey was
mirror smooth and the cliffs surrounding it are the perfect backdrop.
Even if you only have a few hours extra as you pass through this area I
would
recommend driving through the
park as I consider it a top scenic drive.
