7/12/14 Oregon Trail Route, Glenns Ferry Idaho

Actual Landscape Shown Under Sign

Left Zoe's in Pullman, on our way to Grand Teton National Park in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Hopped back onto Rt.  95 South down the west boarder of Idaho and hooked up to Rt. 84 East toward Boise along the Snake River and the Old Oregon Trail. Camped overnight in Glenns  Ferry, Idaho at Three Islands Crossing Campground.

 There are still wagon train ruts from thousands of pioneers who headed West in the mid 1800's through hostile Indian territory, mountains and miles of desert.  At 9 a.m. it was 76 degrees, at 9 p.m. it was 99 degrees.  This entire part of the country was volcanic (still is, read about the massive ocean of lava under Yellowstone) and is strewn with huge lava flows.
