Goodales Cutoff

            A view of a portion of the Oregon Trail taken along the Goodales Cutoff near Castle Rocks.

Idaho is blessed with many magnificent mountain ranges.  There weren't many easy routes to cross it on the way to Oregon or northern California.  Wagon trains of covered wagons and livestock had to navigate many treacherous routes to get to their new homes.  Tougher folks than most of us nowadays.

"During 1862 Tim Goodale led a group of 1,095 people, 338 wagons, and 2,900 head of stock safely from Fort Hall to Old Fort Boise on the on this short cutoff.  By 1863, seven out of every ten wagons en route from Fort Hall to Boise took Goodale's Cutoff instead of the main Oregon Trail."  Wiki

As always thanks for taking a look!
