On the Road of History

Before highway improvements in the 1930s, this trail route was traveled often enough that the Cant family's touring car might have used it frequently. The trail is a remnant of the historic fabric of this place and shows how its use changed over time. The automobile's use also changed, as it was adapted for ranch work as a vehicle called a go-devil. The trail crosses 1/4 mile of slightly inclined ground to a view of Sheep Rock and the John Day River, and along the way is the James Cant Ranch Historic District.
