This game hearkens back to the days of the first Oregon Trail, meaning that instead of tons of options that made up Oregon Trail 2, there are significantly less in this installment. There is only one place you can go to (besides the fact you can stop anywhere), which is Oregon City. You can also only have five or so people in your group. You can hunt, and you can fish, which is a new gameplay element. You can also go down the Dalles River in a first-person view (along with floating across rivers.)
