Answer: I think the Oregon Trail is very significant to my life today. We live in Oregon City and this is where the pioneers finally settled so it must be important. I think the fact that the pioneers chose to take the chance and walk to Oregon knowing that there would be many hardships along the way; and many things that would slow them down or could prevent them from making it all the way, makes the Oregon Trail very significant.
I think that learning about the Oregon Trail is significant because it shows how the first settlers made it over to the west coast and eventually settled throughout the pacific coast.
