During the mid-1800s, thousands of American emigrants labored along this ridge. Since then, stage coach, train, and automobile roads have paralleled the Oregon Trail over these mountains. Only traces of the original road remain, yet the ideals of those who crossed the continent in wagons have not been lost. As people pursue their dreams for a better life, they join the emigrants on the Oregon Trail. Asahel Munger wrote on August 31, 1839, "Through all our trials I cannot say that I have ever regretted that we have undertaken this journey."
