NHTIC June 30 2026: Pioneer Trail Trek--Pioneer Arrival Day at Fort Laramie NHS
Overview
On May 30, join our trail trek guide and celebrate the experiences of early pioneer emigrants and frontier life during Pioneer Arrival Day at Fort Laramie NHS. Participants will spend the day exploring history at one of the most important landmarks along the trail.
The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center (NHTIC) is once again hosting off-site pioneer trail treks for summer 2026. Led by NHTIC staff and OCTA (Oregon-California Trail Association) members, participants will drive their own vehicles or carpool.
Participants will meet in the NHTIC parking lot at 8 a.m. Sites have uneven surfaces and elevation changes, which may not be suitable for those in poor physical condition. Bring lunch, water, snacks, and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for walking and weather changes. A high-clearance or 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
