The Oregon Trail Along the Columbia River
We visited the site where the Oregon trail pioneers and families caught their first glimpse of the Columbia River. The wagon ruts are still visible on this one steep hill which we walked to the top of to see a pioneer camp in a small forested area with a running spring.
