Ep. 218: Oregon Trail | Farewell Bend RV travel camping

Avatar admin | September 1, 2021


After following the Snake River for 300 miles, emigrants following the Oregon Trail in the 1800s finally left the river bank and headed northwest into Oregon at Farewell Bend. While camping at Farewell Bend State Recreation Area we explore Oregon Trail history including the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and the Van Ornum Massacre. We even find the ruts left in the eastern Oregon desert by the emigrants' wagon trains! We also check out the Weiser Sand Dunes and the historic town of Baker City.

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
