The Oregon Trail here was winding up towards South Pass. Wagon wheels, draft animals, and people wore down the trail about two to six feet into a sandstone ridge here, during its heavy usage from 1841–1869. The half-mile stretch is "unsurpassed" and is the best-preserved set of Oregon Trail ruts anywhere along its former length.[2] The site is maintained as a state historic site, and was declared a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.[2] HistoryThe trail was first recorded in 1812, when Robert Stuart and six others came through here heading east from Fort Astoria, Oregon. Traders, trappers, and missionaries used this route before 1841 when the Bartleson–Bidwell Party became the first wagon train across the trail. The number of emigrants grew from 100 plus in 1842 to over 900 in 1843. With the completion of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1869, use of the trail as an overland route to the Pacific rapidly declined, although sections of it continued to be used locally for many years.[2] SiteThe trail ruts are {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} long and are worn {{convert|2|to|6|ft|m}} into a sandstone ridge. The route was chosen to avoid the marshy ground along the river. It is located on the south side of the North Platte River, {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} south of the town of Guernsey.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=66000761}} |title=Oregon Trail Ruts |last=Lissandrello |first=Stephen |work=National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form |publisher=National Park Service |date=November 24, 1978 |accessdate=March 1, 2008}} with {{NRHP url|id=66000761|photos=y|title=5 accompanying photos}} [1]}} External links{{commons category|Oregon Trail Ruts (Guernsey, Wyoming)}}
