Oregon Trail

Indians, trappers, and emigrants who came this
way before 1900 used a more direct route to get
between Boise and Glenns Ferry. Their road still
can be seen at Bonneville Point 5 miles from here.

Following close to a line of hills bordering a broad, rolling plain,
their route had water and grass essential for horses and oxen.
It also gave them a spectacular view of Boise valley. To see
that site, follow directional signs when you reach Interchange
64 at Blacks Creek, 1 mile beyond here.
