Mt. Hood Territory recently promoted a new app for you to explore some Mt. Hood history. You can learn much on each of these Heritage Trail Sites either by visiting the Mt. Hood Territory website or download the app to your phone as you drive along and visit these historic places. 

We celebrated the 175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail in 2018. This Oregon Trail section has just been added to the app including Summit Meadows, Tollgate, and Laurel Hill near Government Camp.

The Barlow Trail Road at Mt. Hood

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
by Liz Warren

Our local area on Mt Hood is filled with history.  I travel on Barlow Trails Road a couple of times a week. As I drive along Barlow Trail,  I'm traveling the road that over 50,000 emigrants used to travel into Oregon. The Barlow Trail Road in the mid 1800's opened up the Willamette Valley for settlement. These early emigrants helped Oregon estabish a population which eventually led to acheiving statehood. Read about the history.

Barlow Trail winds through several of our communities from Government Camp, Rhododendron and Brightwood.

Here is a recent article in the Sandy Post or find out more about the Barlow Trail here.
