Travelers willing to drive on improved dirt roads can follow the Oregon Trail Road as an alternative to State Highway 220. This road follows the actual trail ruts for 41.5 miles and includes such historic sites as Emigrant Gap (mile 8.5), Avenue of Rock (mile 19), Willow Spring (mile 27.5) and Prospect Hill (mile 29), the site of another BLM interpretive site. Try this in dry weather only. Inquire at Fort Caspar, the Casper Chamber of Commerce Information Center or BLM offices for advice and directions. The route is not well marked!
