TOUR THE MAGNIFICENT TRAILS! 

• North from Salt Lake to the Bear River Massacre site near Preston, Idaho. The tour also explored a segment of the Bidwell/Bartleson Trail and various early crossings of the Bear River.
• Ogden area sites, including 3 early fort sites and Trapper sites from the Weber River over Trappers Loop to Ogden’s Hole. (This was also a part of preparation for the coming 2018 Convention in Ogden.)
• We drove around the Great Salt Lake following a segment of the Hensley or Salt Lake Cutoff as well as a large portion of the Bidwell/Bartleson Trail.
• We followed the route used by the military from Ft Bridger, WY to their location at Cedar Fort.
• A two-day trip along the Salt Lake Cutoff in to Idaho remote springs and camping sites to City of Rocks where the California Trail comes South from Ft Hall. We stayed in Burley for the night and then continued along the California Trail to Wells, NV.
• Every few years we do a two-day tour—we are contemplating a two-day tour into Wyoming in the future.
