 "Emigrant Road" follows actual stories from the diaries and journals of those who crossed a continent. This "historical travelogue" motion picture traces the Oregon Trail from Courthouse Square in Independence, Missouri, through the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington, to Oregon City, Oregon. Follow the route of the pioneers, visit the sites as they exist today, and hear the very words of those who lived the adventure. We ll see the same sights emigrants wrote about in their journals, and visit cultural, personal and historic landmarks. We ll stock up at Fort Kearny, Fort Laramie, Fort Hall and Fort Vancouver. We ll remember buffalo herds "ten miles wide," and watch a thunderstorm fade into a prairie dawn. We ll visit the magic valley of One Thousand Springs and watch as a wagon train crosses the Snake River. We ll cruise down the Columbia aboard a steamship and visit the City of Roses as we journey along the Emigrant Road, on an Oregon Trail adventure!
