Fort Ellice Trail
The Fort Ellice Trail, also known as The Carlton Trail, The Saskatchewan Trail, and The Edmonton Trail, led across the western plains from Fort Garry (Winnipeg) to Fort Edmonton, a distance of more then 900 miles. The route was used by Indians, fur traders, explorers, missionaries, surveyors, and settlers. The principal vehicle was the two-wheeled Red River cart made entirely of wood.
