Wallowa Route Proposed for Lewiston to Union Town Road
A Lewiston Grand Ronde valley proposal outlines a 102 mile wagon road from Lewiston through Grand Ronde crossing to Wallowa and Union Town. It argues opening the route saves distance 83 miles from current paths, facilitates mail and immigration, and enables a smaller military logistics line to Wallowa with minimal grading and one bridge at the crossing.

Wagon road plan to Wallowa from Lewiston proposed by McGuire party
In 1877 Peter McGuire and T J Bunker report exploring routes from Lewiston toward Wallowa via the Grande Ronde, noting a viable ramp from the summit to the river and estimating a ten-man, twenty-day project to complete a wagon road. They describe terrain, crossings, and the shorter Lewiston to Grand Ronde distance of under 27 miles, with all other sections deemed good natural road.
