Roubidoux and Mitchell Passes Shaped Nebraska Trail History
Historical notes compare Roubidoux Pass and Mitchell Pass on the Oregon trail near Gering and Melbeta. Roubidoux offered a riverward route with scenic views of Laramie Peak, but travelers shifted to Mitchell due to directness. Merrill Mattes notes the irony of desertion for a supposedly shorter path that was not meaningfully shorter.
