Two miles from Register Cliff are the best preserved wagon ruts. Walk along the deep ruts to see additional sections of ruts.
Fort Laramie
Route 28 south of Lander follows near the route of the Oregon Trail over the continental divide at South Pass. There are several trail markers along this route.
Not an Oregon Trail site, but worth a visit is South Pass City, a partially restored gold mining town about two miles down a good gravel road from route 28.
I guess what I'm really wondering is, are most of these sites such as the ones that Old-Biscuit mentioned, accessible by vehicle, and are they worth the stopping to see. I'm trying to determine if it would be worth spending a few days of our vacation following this route. We would only be doing the western Nebraska and Wyoming portions. Part 2 of my question is what about camping? Are there campgrounds along the way? BLM or National Forest areas, or private campgrounds? Some of these areas, especially in Wyoming, look like they could be pretty remote. Am I going to have problems finding places to camp along the way? I may post that question in another section, but if anyone here has some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
