Description
South Pass, a major passage way through the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, played an important role in prehistoric times as well as in the settling of the West in historic times. Significant trails; such as the California Trail, Oregon Trail, and the Mormon Trail; wind their way through this beak in the high peaks of the Rockies.
