Oregon Trail

[Beatrice]

Although we are not new to RVs we recently bought a newer one and want to go on an extended visit this summer. We are planning on going to Wisconsin for a fly-in and thought this would be a great time to go on an across country trip, like the oregon trail. My only fear is mountains. Has anybody taken this trip and is there a way to avoid mountains. Any advise or places to see etc would be great. Maybe books?

Hey Beatrice, welcome to the forum. Sorry, the Oregon Trail goes through the mountains along about Wyoming. Sit back and enjoy. Beautiful scenery.

I live about 20 miles North of the Oregon Trail near South Pass in Wyoming. South Pass is a good highway, not steep, not crooked. No mountains East of South Pass. Come on out to Wind River Country!

There are no "real mountains" north of the Colorado northern boundary! n Enjoy your trip.

mountainman,

I beg to differ. Don't even try to tow anything up Teton Pass which is West of Jackson Hole, much too steep.

Wind River I agree on the Teton Pass. Wife would not even let me go over it in the toad

Re: Oregon Trail

More over you should find the views breath taking. Most of the mountain areas should be no problem for most rigs. Good luck on the trip and enjory.
