Ft Bridger, WY

Fort Bridger was an amazing place to visit and the kids had so much fun that pulling them away was difficult. As we learned this historical place began as a trading post in 1843 Jim Bridger and Louis Vasquez. The trading post traded with emigrants and Indians.

Later this location became a military base, then a hotel, and now a historal site.

The kids not only loved visiting Ft Bridger because of the military history, but because of the Mormon Pioneer hisotry as well. What a trip for them!
