The historic Santiam Wagon Road is a piece of Oregon's history. This is one of the few wagon roads that were built to travel east, bringing settlers from the Willamette Valley into Central Oregon and all the way on to Idaho. You can glimpse the faint tracks worn by wagons, cattle and oxen 150 years ago.

The Santiam Wagon Road, steeped in Oregon's history, stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of settlers. This route, crafted for eastward travel, connected the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon and beyond to Idaho. Faint tracks, etched by wagons, cattle, and oxen, offer glimpses into the past of nearly 150 years. Step off the bike and walk briefly north east up the footpath to take a look.
