Oregon Trail

Oregon Trail Interpretive Center at the top of Flagstaff Hill.  A lone pine at the top of this hill marked this landmark for the tired pioneers entering the Powder River Valley. 

Then some dufus cut it down.

 Oregon Trail ruts, looking west.

Looking east.

Trail heads west into the valley toward the Elkhorn Mountains.

  Ruts are visible. Great hiking to the bottom of the valley before the thunderstorm arrived.
