Welcome Traveler! . . .

. . . To the World Wide Web camp of the Utah Crossroads Chapter, Oregon-California Trails Association. Our organization is dedicated to preserving, studying and marking the long-distance historic trails within our own state and others in the West. We are fascinated by the people that preceded us here and the ways and means by which they arrived. Our members are prolific in preparing both scholarly and popular works as well as educational materials about these subjects and myriad others.

If you share an interest in the pioneers, traders, trappers, settlers and travelers and the old trails, tracks and emigrant roads that brought them this way, you're a kindred spirit. We invite you to spend some time getting acquainted with us. If you've been here before, welcome back and be sure to take a good look around - we're always fixing up the place.

As long as you're here, drop by our Discussion Forum and Guest Book, and leave a note. It's the perfect place to make a comment or chew the fat with other trail fans. You can start a fresh conversation or respond to one that's already going. Use the Forum button from the bottom of any page.

Explore the many sections of our site. There are dozens of interesting pages inside. If you can cast your imagination back to the early days when dirt trails carried brave pioneers to the West, we are confident you'll enjoy what you find here.
