Description
The Guernsey Ruts, or Deep Rut Hill, located at the Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic Site in Guernsey, Wyoming, safeguards the most remarkable wagon ruts still visible along the Oregon-California Trail. Here, the Oregon Trail wagon trains diverged from the path along the marshy North Platte River and traveled a soft sandstone ridge, wearing down a trail of ruts stretching half a mile and varying depths between two and six feet.
