The Great Migration

Follow in the footsteps of intrepid pioneers over the final grueling miles of the Oregon Trail. Starting in Ontario, the first wagon ruts you'll see are nearby at Keeney Pass. The Trail parallels I-84 to Baker City, where you can learn all about the epic journey at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Next, continue northwest on I-84 through La Grande and stop at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Park at Blue Mountain Crossing. Stop at the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute Museum near Pendleton for a look at how the Oregon Trail affected the lives of Native Americans. Then it's on to The Dalles, where the Crate's Point Living History Park explains the fateful decisions emigrants had to make at this historic crossroads
