Echo Meadows
Take a walk through time. Trace the path of
the emigrants along the Oregon Trail. Echo
Meadows was a popular “nooning” place
where emigrants could rest themselves and
their stock. Visitors can look at the
interpretive signs then walk ½ mile on a
paved path to see nearly one mile of intact
wagon ruts, part of the primary Oregon Trail
route from 1847 to1860. Throughout your walk
to the wagon ruts you can stop and read the
interpretive signs about the area and its history.
