The adventure is run by the Double H Bar Ranches, and it's their cowboys who head 'em up and move 'em out almost every week July through August. Trips fill up fast, so it's a good idea to book a trip as far in advance as possible.
The almost week-long trip is as close as you'll get to an authentic wagon train experience.

Of course, the wagons have been upgraded with a few modern comforts such as rubber tires on the wheels and padded seating inside the wagons.

What is Wyoming known for?

Wyoming is known for its landscapes, history, and small-town living. The beautiful scenery of the Teton Range and Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem makes western Wyoming unlike any other place in the world, while the Bighorn Mountains create a forested wonderland that's a hiker's paradise. The history of the Cowboy State includes the stories of the Indigenous tribes that called this place home along with the history of settlement and immigration along the Oregon Trail. Our tiny towns like Meeteetse, Centennial, Hudson, and Dubois make for close-knit communities that welcome visitors and new residents with open arms. Wyoming is a wonderful place to live, and once you live here, you won't want to be anywhere else!

What are the best little known attractions in Wyoming?

While Yellowstone and Grand Teton draw huge crowds every year, those in the know head to the smaller parks and attractions to avoid the crowds. Sinks Canyon State Park outside of Lander is a one-of-a-kind spot that draws in hikers to see the amazing underground river, the Cloud Peak Wilderness is a gorgeous spot for hikers and backpackers to get away from it all, and the "hobo hot springs" in Saratoga make for a serene dip in the river after hiking through the nearby mountains. If you're looking for more off-the-beaten-path fun in Wyoming, be sure to check out these 11 underrated attractions.

How has Wyoming changed over the years?

Wyoming has changed quite a bit over the years! Luckily, there are ways to glimpse back in time all around. The Green River Formation's fossils can be found in Kemmerer, where you can actually dig up evidence of our prehistoric past. The Castle Gardens petroglyph site shows off the earliest cultures that called Wyoming home, and the Oregon Trail Ruts in Guernsey marks the place where thousands of emigrants made their way across the state in search of a better life on the West Coast.
