Description
The southwest corner of Wyoming is filled with beautiful and remarkable terrain. There are long north-south running mountain ranges, mountain passes, several large rivers and streams, and rolling hills. It is rugged terrain with elevations ranging from 6,037 feet to 10,298 feet. Woven through this area’s mountain passes and along its streams are 953.2 miles of mid-nineteenth-century emigrant trails.
