Detailed explanation-1: -The route was established and was being used increasingly by the emigrants-especially those with animals. The toll over the Barlow Road was $5 a wagon and 10 cents per animal…
Detailed explanation-2: -The Columbia River is dangerous, there are a lot of rock you have to navigate around and if you miss the landing site, you will lost tons of supplies. The Barlow Toll road is longer, but safer and less risk of losing your things.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Barlow Road is a historic wagon road that created a new route on the Oregon Trail in 1846. Until the road was opened, the overland portion of the Oregon Trail effectively ended in The Dalles. Mount Hood, and the Cascade Range in general, was an insurmountable obstacle to early wagon trains.
