A few more from Wyoming.
The sad reality of the emigrant trail:
M8, 28 Cron
The way West. (Behind me is Rattlesnake Pass. To my right is Devil's Gate, and to my left is the monument above. Though there were divergent trails westward, e.g., the Oregon Trail, California Trail, the Mormon Trail and the Pony Express, almost everyone had to pass through Rattlesnake Pass, so this portion of the trail was used by all. There are heavy wagon ruts to the side of the road, and a Pony Express station was located just behind and to the right of where I'm standing as I take this.)
M8, CV 75/2.5 Heliar
Since 1872 part of the Sun Ranch (still owned by the same family), horses graze in front of Devil's Gate, just as the Pony Express Riders horses did in this very pasture 150 years ago. The station here was just to the left of the image.
M8, CV 75/2.5 Heliar
The Sweetwater River, which flows through Devil's Gate, and into the North Platte River about 10 miles beyond. Here about 1/4 mile upstream from Devil's Gate.

Part of the Rattlesnake Range, along the Sweetwater River, near Devil's Gate.
