The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center outside of Baker Oregon is a very good interpretive facility. Inside it features a great hall with a life sized diorama framed by the Blue Mountains. But the most memorable element of this site is that visitors can walk from the Center to stand right on a section of the rutted Oregon Trail. Follow those tracks in your imagination to The Dalles (Gorge Discovery Center) and Oregon City (End of the Oregon Trail Center) and the stories of the true old west come to life
