The Grande Ronde Valley Oregon Trail Kiosk is located in the Charles Reynolds Rest Area off of Interstate 84. The kiosk's interpretive exhibits tell of the emigrant experience in the Grande Ronde Valley and their peaceful encounters with the valley's American Indians. Look back to the southeast (left side of the freeway when facing the westbound lanes of I-84) to see white posts marking the "powerful rockey" 1,300-foot descent of Ladd Hill to the Grande Ronde Valley.
