Oregon National Historic Trail

Guernsey Ruts, Wyoming

The Guernsey Ruts in Wyoming feature deeply eroded rock from wagon traffic.

Imagine yourself an emigrant headed for Oregon: would promises of lush farmlands and a new beginning lure you to leave home and walk for weeks? More than 2,000 miles of trail ruts and traces can still be seen along the Oregon National Historic Trail in six states and serve as reminders of the sacrifices, struggles, and triumphs of early American settlers.
