Geocache Description:

Oregon Trail Series:
Soles Rest Creek









Thousands of emigrants
crossed
southwestern Idaho between
1843 and 1870 on their way
to the Willamette River valley in Oregon.



This creek was often dry when the emigrants came through the area. Some diary accounts mention an Indian massacre in this area. A variant of the Jeffrey-Goodale cutoff rejoined the Oregon Trail at Soles Rest Creek.

"Sept. 6th ...A ravine about 2 miles...some water in seap holes not very good...
Rev. John McAllister, 1852
