Laurel Hill (Oregon)
Laurel Hill was a hill on the Barlow Road of the Oregon Trail. It was one of the steepest descents of any on the Oregon Trail.[1][2] Travelers considered it the worst part of the entire Oregon Trail, and had to either drag trees behind their wagons for braking or winch using ropes or chains.
