Traveled today from Ogden, UT east on I-84 and then I-80 to Fort Bridger, Wyoming. A very interesting drive with mountains, canyons and high desert like plateaus. Passed through Echo Canyon which was the site of several very historic routes. Between 1847 and 1870 more than 70,000 Mormons left the Oregon Trail in Fort Bridger to head Southeast to Utah and Salt Lake passing through Echo Canyon. In the same way many left the Oregon Trail in Fort Bridger to head Southeast to California as opposed to going to Oregon. It was also the route through Echo Canyon for the Pony Express.
Glamped at Fort Bridger RV Park. In Ogden our RV Park was at 4500 feet in elevation and here we are at 6750 feet. Huge sites (50 x 100). It used to be a mobile home park before converting to an RV Park and the kept the sites the same using all the utilities from the previous park and converting the old gas lines into a sprinkler system. Very quiet and the only noise is the cows in the pasture next door that have Tucker fascinated. (8 out of 10 – site 25)
