(the Cherokee Trail (also known as the Trappers’ Trail) was a historic overland trail through the present-day U.S. states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming that was used from the late 1840s up through the early 1890s)
The route was established in 1849 by a wagon train headed to the gold fields in California.
Among the members of the expedition were a group of Cherokee.

(according to 1 source, “neither the number of wagons nor the number of people that eventually used this road to cross the Sierra Madres makes this trail significant. What makes this road unique is that Native Americans and their traveling companions did not just cross the Continental Divide; they made a path over the mountains and through the ‘wyoming basin’)
