Wagons on the Oregon Trail faced numerous challenges due to rough terrain, unpredictable weather, and limited resources. The trail included steep mountains, rocky paths, and river crossings, which made navigation and travel difficult. Additionally, the harsh conditions often led to wagon breakdowns and difficulties in maintaining supplies, further complicating the journey for pioneers. These obstacles contributed to the overall hardship of the westward migration during the mid-19th century.
