This large mural is inside the National Oregon/California Trail Center in Montpelier, Idaho. The mural is by artist Gary Stone. While researching the painting, Stone traveled parts of the pioneer trail crossing Idaho and nearby states.
Gary Stone read emigrant journals and diaries and depicted what travelers experienced along the trail. You can tell he put his heart into getting the scenes shown right.
Here’s a closer view of the details on the mural.

Wonderful mural! It reminds me of the very old children's classic "Lucretia Ann on the Oregon Trail."
