The trail began in Missouri, crossed the Great Plains, followed the Platte River through Nebraska and Wyoming, passed South Pass in the Rockies, and continued through Idaho and Oregon to the Willamette Valley. Major landmarks like Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, and the Blue Mountains are implied along its winding course.
