Oregon Trail Ruts



After Fort Laramie we stopped to see the Oregon Trail Ruts.  I have seen the Santa Fe Trail Ruts and expected this to be similar.  Boy, was I wrong!




The ruts are in soft sandstone that wore away quite easily making a sunken road of sorts.




They were quite deep in some places.


Past the stone they could be seen a slight depressions or sunken roads once again.  Don't look at the path, look where it intersects what appears to be a depression a little to the right of the center of the picture.
