Family Handcart Trek

Nestled in the southwest corner of Wyoming you’ll find a part of the Immigrant Trail that was heavily used by pioneers, but not known to many today. You and your family will stay with us for two nights and three days while you walk on the original Pioneer Trail, view graves along the way, camp at the Muddy Creek, and experience the beauty of Wyoming. Trekkers will use replicas of pioneer handcarts.

This exciting historical experience is designed for families. All ages may participate, including teens, young children, babies, parents and grandparents. It is open to all who wish to attend. (It is not limited to Ensign Peak Academy students.) High school students may attend without a parent. Elementary and middle school students must attend with a parent or guardian.

Your pioneer adventure begins with a tour of this historic fort and travel through various historical sites including: Gravel Hill, Muddy Creek Camp, Williams Hollow and Coppra Springs. You will be able to participate in various pioneer activities including: black powder shooting, tomahawk throwing, flint & steel fire building, pony express service, two-man saw, square dancing and pioneer games.
