If you`re a history lover, be sure to plan a visit to Wyoming`s Wind River Country.
Back in the 1860s, Pony Express riders raced across the frontier to deliver mail swiftly. You can still visit pieces of that storied trail throughout Wind River Country, including Devil’s Gate, Three Crossings, Rocky Ridge and South Pass—routes shared by the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails.

While exploring the Wind River Indian Reservation, watch for tributes to Chief Washakie, a revered leader known for his dedication to his people. He upheld traditional practices, signed the Fort Bridger Treaties of 1863 and 1868 that established the reservation and worked tirelessly to protect his community’s rights and heritage.
