Fur trappers primarily traveled to the West via a combination of overland trails and waterways. Many followed established routes like the Oregon Trail or the Santa Fe Trail, which facilitated access to fur-rich regions. They often journeyed in small groups or as part of larger expeditions, utilizing horses and wagons for transportation. Additionally, some trappers navigated rivers to reach remote areas, where they could hunt and gather valuable pelts.
