On August 15, 1853 Henry Allyn wrote the following about his second day in the Blue Mountains: "Elizabeth and father still quite unwell ... We noon on the mountain and take our mules down into a doleful cavern and found a little grass and water, the pines growing as though they intend to tower above the mountains."

A parade of emigrants wore the Oregon Trail into the landscape. Determined survivors of the long trek became worn much like the trail.

"Found hard hills to day and very stoney. Saw 5 graves and 5 dead cattle. The weather cold and dusty." — Martha S. Reed, September 21, 1852
