Oregon Trail-Bear Lake Scenic Byway
National Oregon/California Trail Center, ID

The National Oregon/California Trail Center is located within the beautiful Bear Lake Valley of Southeastern Idaho and situated on the historic site of the original Oregon Trail.

With live actors and a simulated wagon train experience, the Center interprets the story of the pioneers who braved the arduous, six-month, 2,000 mile journey across the unsettled American West from Missouri to the Oregon Territory.

The Center also includes a gift shop, large and spacious restrooms, a theater for viewing films, an art exhibit featuring the Oregon Trail paintings of Gary Stone, and a museum highlighting the history and heritage of the Bear Lake Valley.
