Oregon Trail Historic District - Oregon - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

After leaving Fort Boise the Oregon Trail crossed the Snake River and then crossed the divide at Keeney Pass into the drainage of the Malheur River.
At this location the BLM has developed the Keeney Pass Oregon Trail Site with parking, interpretive signs, and a trail along a segment of the Oregon Trail to a viewpoint overlooking the route of the Oregon Trail.
Undisturbed traces of the Oregon Trail are not common in Eastern Oregon, and this district is one of the best examples which is located on public lands. This section of the Oregon Trail was placed on the National Register on 10/29/1975.
