When the Barlow Koad
pioneers traveled the rugg

Willamette Valley little did
they realize the possession*

to find a new life in an un

not complete the journey
They are buried in unmark

Upon reaching a crude
settlement on the hanks of
th e C o lu m b ia R iv e r ,
located at a place the In
dians called “ Wascopam"
(now The D a lle s ), the
fatigued and sometimes
broken spirited travelers
learned the worst was yet
to come
had ever dared to cross Mt
Hood Instead, the im
m ig ra n ts
took
th e ir
chances with the swift and
equally unpredictable Col
umbia River
Once the pioneers had a r
rived at The Dalles, they
busied themselves con
structing rafts to carry
their families, stock and
what few possessions they
had left Or, if they had
money to spare, they paid
steep prices to river men,
who would ferry them to
Port Vancouver
In the summer of 1845
Captain Samuel K Barlow
arrived at The Dalles with
a wagon train he had led
from Missouri. Not wishing
to risk the lives of his party
to the sw ift Columbia
R iv e r, whose d iffic u lt
navigability had cast hun
dreds into a cold and
watery grave, he looked to
the mountain.
“ God never made a
mountain without making a
way for man to go over it,"
historians claim Barlow
boasted
Rising up 11,245 feet, and
standing like a giant in the
Cascade Range, was the
majestic peak of Mt Hood.
Their journey would not be
over until they had safely
picked their way around
this treacherous peak
Most, however, chose not
to risk a journey over the
unpredictable m ountain
terrain No known wagon

So on Sept 24 he set out
with with seven wagons,
his wife and six children
and 12 others to find a dry
lan d
ro u te
to
the
Willamette Valley,
Following a narrow In
dian trail, they successful
ly picked their way through
the thick stands of timber
that span the southern
perimeter of the mountain

Wagon Road out of the
wilderness
The Mt Hood Wagon
Road, better known as
Barlow Road, was con
structed out of an Indian
trail, which reportedly had
been used since prehistoric
times The construction of
the wagon road took place

and his partner, Philip
Foster of "Jack Knife"
(now known as Eagle
Creek).
