About this campground

This Interpretive pullout is at one of the locations where the Emigrant Trail crosses State Highway 28. The site was thought to be the Parting of the Ways, but was later shown to be the intersection of the Point of Rocks to South Pass Stage Route and the Emigrant Trail. This is a fee-free site and is ADA accessible.

Getting there

From Farson travel east on US Highway 28 to Mile Marker 24. The site is on the north side of the highway.
