The Oregon Trail was a major route that people took when migrating to the western part of the United States  in the 1800’s. The Oregon Trail began in Independence,Missouri and ended in Oregon City,Oregon. It stretched for around 2,000 miles and through six different states including Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho and Oregon. Also travelers         had to cross many different terrains such as the Rocky Mts. and the Sierra Nevada Mts. If I was a pioneer I would’ve traveled on the Oregon Trail to live in Oregon.
