The Oregon Trail, great route to America’s northwest, extended about 2000 miles from Independence, Missouri to the Columbia River in Oregon. Those 1843 wagon trains started a massive move west which became called “the great migration.” Over the next 25 years more than a half-million people left everything behind and took to the trail and the promise of a better life.

The great American dream proclaimed one would be free of past trappings, that one would live in a world of freedom and self-shaping, and that willpower would be possible as the driving force to make your life.

The Trail is about the self-made man, an idea all Americans cherish, and the Tracks, 33-day Oregon Trail RV tour relives the epic journey across America by those who pursued that dream 150 years ago.
