Oregon National Historic Trail Custom Search As the harbinger of America's westward expansion, the Oregon Trail was the pathway to the Pacific for fur traders, gold seekers, missionaries and others. Beginning in 1841 and continuing for more than 20 years, an estimated 300,000 emigrants followed this route from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City, Oregon on a trip that took five months to complete. The 2,170 mile long trail passes through Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon.     CONTACTS Email - Jere_Krakow@nps.gov Fax- 801-539-4098 Write to Long Distance Trails Office 324 South State St., Suite 250 Salt Lake City, UT 84145-0155 Phone Headquarters - (801)539-4093 TRAVEL BASICS Weather & Climate Travel and weather information along the Oregon Trail is best obtained from local offices of the Bureau of Land Management, the National Forest Service, or state tourism.
