Bridge at Little Sandy Crossing

Little Sandy Crossing | Wyoming

A pivotal stop along the California, Mormon Pioneer and Pony Express overland routes, this site is discussed in numerous emigrant diaries and was also a stage station for a brief time. The bridge here is not original; crossing here was not as hazardous as crossing a larger river. The trail runs diagonal from the northeast to the southwest of the fenced area. This is a fee-free site. The area is ADA accessible.
