Take Natrona County Rd. 319. This is very remote country. There are no residences along the way nor any traffic should you need assistance. It also can be very muddy at times. Travel with appropriate back-country awareness.
Prospect Hill was a formidable adversary for the travelers on the Oregon Trail and consequently it was mentioned in nearly every diary. It was a grueling day’s trek for many of the Mormon Handcart Companies from Willow Springs to the top of the hill. Please take the time to read the information on this remote point of interest and sign the visitor’s registration. Several markers of the original trail placed by the Oregon/California Trail Association (OCTA) are visible along the way.
This is the Wyoming prairie and a popular residence of rattlesnakes, scorpions and ticks. There are also numerous cacti. Consequently, watch out for things that can stick, sting, or bite you while exploring in the area.
Congratulations to Wyomingguy for First to Find!!!
