The Overland Mail Company was formed in 1858 to transport mail from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco, California over the Butterfield Overland Trail. A stagecoach station was created along the route at Hueco Tanks. We will take a short hike to the station site and hear tales from the trail. Please bring water and wear sturdy shoes and weather appropriate clothing.
