We travel along the Pony Express trail stopping at all the Desert stations but also checking out all the secrets and interesting stops along the way that don’t show up in the official guide maps.
There was so much to see in Utah’s West Desert that most people think is a barren wasteland that I decided to stop halfway through for a little overnight camping. In this first day we focus mainly on the history of the trail and some of the big names that we’re integral to the Pony Express. Not the rich owners that may have bought it or funded it but the people who scouted the trail, suggested it be improved to be a part of the Overland Trail, and the interesting characters who were just workers maintaining the route for the one year it existed.

Why did you refer to Horace Greeley as infamous?
Thanks for the early Christmas present. I appreciate the great videos and informative commentary!
Fantastic video! Looking forward to the next ones
Great video! I have learned to love the West Desert. It's highly underrated for exploring. I am planning on spending more time out there this year and doing a full weekend of camping and rockhounding.
Great video. Love the story of the Pony Express and scenery is fantastic. Thanks.
Awesome video. I consider the west desert my playscape. If you havent done it yet… theres a lot of cool stuff in the Dugway mtn range
First time seeing one of you adventures and lived every bit. I subscribed
Enjoyed the video, I've been wanting to explore this route and hope to someday.
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing. Good use of the drone at the hot springs. Yes, those weed seeds are annoying, I seem to be pulling them out of socks for days…
Your videos are always a treat. Hope to watch it on Christmas.
What month were you out there. Fun trip thank you.
