Clint Gilchrist

Clint Gilchrist is the project manager for the Lander Trail New Fork River Crossing Historical Park. Growing up on a ranch crossed by the Lander Trail sparked a life long interest. He has served on many historical boards and committees since 1997, including stints as president of both the Sublette County Historical Society and the Sublette County Historic Preservation Board.

Crossing the New Fork River

Emigrants bound for Oregon or California in the 1860s on the government-built Lander Trail faced serious dangers crossing the New Fork River, as they usually had to do so at high water. Recently the site has been developed into an attractive historical park in Sublette County in western Wyoming.
