Pony Express
Young Riders galloped across Utah's west desert, over one of the most difficult and dangerous legs of the legendary Pony Express route, delivering mail from Missouri to California before the advent of the telegraph.
Today the route has been declared a National Trail. An improved dirt road follows the route across Utah's west desert. Historic plaques have been placed to mark and location of several stations, and some of the old buildings have been restored.
