  • Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization by Samuel K
    Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization By Samuel K. Barlow This note, signed by Samuel K. Barlow, authorized Philip Foster to collect tolls from emigrants using the Barlow Road to cross the Cascades on their way to the Willamette Valley. The history of the Barlow Road began in the mid-1840s when large wagon trains of American emigrants were making their way to Oregon from the Midwest. In the fall of 1845, hundreds of emigrants finally reached The Dalles, where they faced a logistical crisis. Only a limited number of boats were available to ferry the overlanders down the Columbia, and local food stores were dangerously low. Faced with this grim situation, several families elected to try crossing the Cascade Range rather than wait indefinitely at The Dalles for passage to Fort Vancouver. Headed by Sam Barlow and William Rector, these families set out along the Deschutes River in late September 1845. They were later joined by a second party led by Joel Palmer. Their objective was to find a southern route around Mt. Hood. While earlier Native and non-Native travelers had crossed the Cascades, none had driven wagons over the mountain range. The emigrants’ attempt proved quite harrowing, but ultimately successful. After caching their wagons and extra supplies five miles south of Barlow Pass, the emigrants made their way on foot and on horseback down the western slope of Mt. Hood. They finally arrived in small parties at Philip Foster’s farm at Eagle Creek—present-day Clackamas County—in late December 1845. The emigrants made their way to Oregon City, subsequently returning to bring their wagons and remaining goods down Mt.

  • History Bike Ride Barlow Pass to Rhododendron
    Mt. Hood History bike ride Barlow Pass to Rhododendron The YELLOW line is the original wagon trail, a.k.a. Barlow Road. The thick RED line shows modern Highways 26 and 35. The PINK line is the old Mt. Hood highway, now abandoned. On this bike ride, we shall visit: 1. Barlow trail - original wagon route. Parts you haven't seen before. 2. The old Mt. Hood highway, before the modern Hwy 26 was built. It is overgrown with trees and moss, but it is still paved. Some sections have been destroyed. See what's left. 3. The best, most beautiful view of Mt. Hood. Bring your camera! 4. Pioneer Woman's Grave. 5. Summit Prairie (aka Summit Meadows), one of the last rest stops on the Oregon Trail. There is a Pioneer cemetery there now. 6. Hear the ghost of Perry Vickers, who is buried at Summit Meadows. 7. Laurel Hill, the steepest part of Barlow Trail. The pioneers had to lower their wagons with ropes, or tie a tree to the back of the wagon to act as a brake. NOTE: Because of the safety improvements on highway 26, which will include a concrete median barrier, access to Laurel Hill will be impossible when travelling westward from Government Camp. 8. The "bat cave" - which is actually a narrow tunnel made for horses. Yes, for the US Cavalry! After all, that's how Government Camp got its name, when the cavalry left some supplies there for a while. 9. Little Zig Zag Falls (just a beautiful nature spot). 10.

  • Discovering Laurel Hill and the Barlow Road
    Discovering Laurel Hill and the Barlow Road A Self-Guided Tour of Laurel Hill Devil’s Half Acre Barlow Pass Pioneer Woman’s Grave Summit Meadows annotated maps, driving and hiking instructions, historical notes, explanations, pioneer diary entries by Jim Tompkins © 1996, 2002 Discovering the Barlow Road Wagons no longer roll across the Barlow Road. The roadbed is no longer maintained for ease of travel. Most of the right-of-way west of the Cascade summit has transferred to private ownership. Only an occasional sign points out what used to be the main arterial for emigrant traffic into the Willamette Valley. Finding the remnants of the Barlow Road requires a unique knowledge of wagon types, draft animals and road construction. It also requires ideas on how nature, the weather and erosion have affected the land. In areas where man has altered the landscape it takes a good imagination to envision what the Barlow Road looked like. One of the best places to find remains of the road and to think like a pioneer is a five mile segment of the trail from Devil’s Half Acre to Summit Meadows. Using knowledge gained from this pamphlet and following the self-guided tour, any visitor can discover the Barlow Road. 19th Century Transportation At one time or another a person sitting alongside the Barlow Road could have seen a prairie schooner, freight wagon or stagecoach pulled by teams of oxen, mules or horses. Reenactments in modern Oregon like to feature large Conestoga wagons pulled by beautiful draft horses. But not 150 years ago.
