Wagon tracks can still be seen near Guernsey, Wyoming on this historic pioneer trail that ran 2,200 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City, Oregon. Fur trader Robert Stewart was the first non-Native American to use the Oregon Trail's route to travel 2,000 miles in 1810 from Fort Astoria, Oregon to St. Louis, Missouri. The first wagon took the trail in 1836 going from Missouri to Oregon, followed by thousands more hoping to find a better life in what was then called Oregon Country. Oregon Trail is a U.S. National Historic Trail.
