EXPLANATION:
…The Oregon Trail 1860’s“Emigrants” went by Flagstaff Hill, by going through the small valley, known as Virtue Flat, that lies just south of Flagstaff Hill. Traveling through this valley was no easy task. Emigrants had to fight their way through shoulder-tall sagebrush just after spending four or five difficult days ascending Burnt River. The trek across Virtue Flats created 13 miles of still visible Oregon Trail “Ruts”. Approximately one mile of these ruts lies on the interpretive center's grounds. The ruts can be reached by following hiking trails from the interpretive center or by driving a half-mile west of the center's entrance on Highway 86 to a turnout.
