  1. We really enjoyed learning about the Pioneers and how they traveled. It was difficult trying to stay under budget and find hotels that were in our price range without having to drive too far off of the original trail we planned to take. It was a great learning experience for us as a group because we thought we would be able to stretch our money a lot further than we did. We think every class should have to do this project to learn not only about the pioneers migrating west, but also about money management. Our favorite part of planning the trip was finding the different places we could see along the way. Many of the natural sights were free to see which helped us keep our trip under our budget.

Many travelers would stray as many as five miles from the Oregon Trail just to take a look at these magnificent rock formations. Independence Rock is about 130 ft. tall and is made up mostly of granite. It was another landmark for the pioneers on the Oregon Trail in the 1800’s. Chimney Rock is another landmark used by the pioneers as they traveled westward. It rose over 300 feel above the rest of the North Platte River Valley.
