Cutoffs: More than a Fashion Statement

Join Park Ranger Eric Graves at the wagons on the Oregon Trail Pathway for a talk about overland trail cutoffs. Some of these cutoffs saved time or brought the traveler to superior grazing or water. Others proved to be a disaster by delaying emigrants with rough terrain or leading them away from water and grazing. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be moved to inside the visitor center theater. 

Fees

This event is free to attend.
