Pony Express Trail
Glorified in books, movies and television shows, The Pony Express is an icon of American history. Though it only lasted from April 1860 to October 1861, the riders of the Pony Express were revered for their ability to deliver the mail from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California in ten days or less.
In Wyoming, the Pony Express Trail follows the Oregon/California Trail to Fort Bridger, where it joins the Mormon Pioneer Trail for a short distance. Each year, the National Pony Express Association reenacts the famous ride with a 10-day around-the-clock re-run with more than 500 riders following (as closely as possible) the original, nearly 2,000-mile route.
