Being a native of the Treasure Valley I have come to enjoy the many trails in our backyard. I have recently discovered some new trails in southeast Boise. The Oregon Trail Trailhead is one of them and is located off of highway 21 heading up towards Lucky Peak. Just look for the sign along the highway.
This place marks the path for the Oregon Trail in this area and gives you information of the trail in the Treasure Valley. One new fact that I learned about the preservation of the Oregon Trail was about a man named Erza Meeker. Meeker was one of the original pioneers that made the trek in 1852. He was also a advocate in informing and educating others about the history of the trail.

Is the trail head East of Warm Springs Avenue or West towards I-84?
