Starbucks (La Grande, Oregon)
A great stop off from the Interstate – clean, friendly, and accurate. Will visit again!

Baker City, Oregon
On the eastern desert side of Oregon, en route to Idaho lies the historic town of “Baker City”. It is at an elevation of 3451 feet above sea level. It has a population of just over 9800 residents (2019). Baker City was named after the only U.S. Senator ever killed in military combat – Edward D. Baker. Baker City is well known for its Gold Rush and mining days, early activities with the Oregon Trail, and Euro-American pioneers.
The Oregon Trail
I remember growing up hearing about the Oregon Trail as a video game, then come graduation I drove part of it when I headed to the West Coast. The Oregon Trail is a pioneer trail that extends approximately 2,170 miles from the Eastern to the Western United States. It was used by large-wheeled wagons by primarily Euro-American settlers heading West before the railways were built. It was originally carved by trappers and fur traders from 1811 until 1840, originally only passable by horseback and foot.
