The interpretive center is accessible. There are two miles of accessible paved trails that we didn't take because of the summer heat. Several short unpaved trails may also be accessible. An outdoor display of various types of wagons is accessible. The trail to the wagon ruts on Route 86 is partly accessible. The paved section ends abruptly and becomes rough gravel. 
The parking lot has long RV spaces. It was slow day for visitors so we parked closer to the center to avoid a uphill roll. Center 44.8133, -117.72712
I don't if you have ever been to Hell's canyon Damn but it is a beautiful drive and your very close. There are several campgrounds in the canyon run by Idaho Power. Vern in Boise
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Vern! We've moved down the road but I'm going to make sure that we go to Hell's Canyon if we're in the area again.
DeleteThis looks fascinating, and your pics are great. We've missed this museum in the past and next time we're up in those parts of Oregon, we'll stop by.
ReplyDeleteOne of the first books that I remember reading on my own was about the Oregon Trail, written from a kid's perspective so I've always been fascinated with the people who made the decision make this long, often dangerous journey to a places that were unknown and foreign to them.
DeleteLiving where we do now, close to the emigrants' route (and Donner Pass), their history is still fascinating to me.
