Directions
The Oregon Trail Range is located off 2½ mile road in Chubbuck. Simply drive to 2½ mile road (off of Hiline) and drive east on it past the I-15 passover and continue to the second large green gates. You will need a membership card with a combination to get into the gate. Once inside the gate drive down the dirt road past the first road (this is the Bannock CSO Range) the road will turn to the right and you will head up the hill. You have then arrived at the GCSSA Oregon Trail Range.
