Historic Oregon Trail.
The pioneer road here detoured the Columbia River rapids and Mount Hood to the Willamette Valley. The road at first followed an old Indian trail. The later name was Barlow Road. Travel was difficult. Wagons were snubbed to trees by ropes on held back by drags of cut trees. Early travelers named the hill from the resemblance of native leaves to Laurel.| HM Number | HM24EY |
