From the Rochester Sentinel, August 4, 1924,[1] the official routing west to Denver was announced:

• Ohio: Canton, Mansfield, Marion, Lima, Van Wert
• Indiana: Decatur, North Manchester, Rochester, Lake Maxinkuckee, Bass Lake, North Judson, Lowell (used the old Huntington, Manitou and Culver Trail, which went from Lima to Chicago)
• Illinois: Grant Park, on Dixie Highway to Momence, Kankakee, Dwight, Streator, Lacon, Princeville, Galesburg, Monmouth
• Iowa: Burlington, Fairfield, Ottumwa, Albia, Chariton, Osceola, Creston, Corning, Red Oak
• Nebraska: Nebraska City, Lincoln, Hastings, Holdrege, McCook
• Colorado: Holyoke, Sterling, Denver

Then the plan was to follow the Old Santa Fe Trail from Trinidad to Los Angeles. [2] says that no plan west of Denver was ever decided on, and has other information.
