Hollenberg Pony Express Nature Trail

The nature trail takes you from the visitor center to the old depot with native plant displays. The Hollenberg Pony Express Station, also known as Cottonwood Pony Express Station, is the most intact surviving station of the Pony Express in the United States. It was built by Gerat H. Hollenberg in 1858, to serve travelers on the Oregon and California Trails, and was used by the Pony Express when it was established in 1860. Please note this is open limited times (see tips) Accessibility: This packed dirt, gravel, and wood bridge trail is estimated to typically be at least 5 feet wide. The bridge does not have edge barriers or handrails. The slope is mostly gentle to moderately steep and estimated to range from -5% to 7% grade. There is one ADA-compliant car parking spot with an access aisle both at the trailhead and at the west end of the trail at the Hollenburg Pony Express Station Visitors Center.
