In another mile and a half the trail descends to the North Platte River bottom via a steep, rocky hill, a kind of chute where the iron wagon tires carved out deep ruts in the soft sandstone bluff. The site is now called Mexican Hill. Reportedly, they had been brought from the southwest in by the American Fur Company because of their skill in building with adobe.

The story goes that they were employed during the construction of Fort John—the s adobe version of Fort Laramie that replaced the original wooden stockade—or in building another trading post nearby, Fort Platte or both.

After the posts were built, the people settled there for a time, and raised vegetables in the river bottom to sell to the traders and travelers at the forts. The story of the settlement may be a local legend and cannot be documented, but there are also reports that dugouts—remains of the Mexican dwellings—were still visible near the foot of the hill up through the early s. Diarists noted the challenges they encountered on this treacherous spot.

We came to a very steep bank of Sand where the teams had to halt several times.

After the ascent, continued our route by the River. We not only locked Wheels, but had attached ropes to the hind end of the Wagons [with] the brethren holding back [at] the same time. Goldsborough Bruff arrived on July 12, , and wrote: High perpendicular white Sandstone cliffs in an acute angle of the river, where it turns left then right, and the trail descends to a grassy bottom, where alongside a large island, thick with willows, a short distance below the bend, my Company were camped.

Some diarists attested to the wreckage created at the bottom of the hill when travelers lost control of their wagons.

When Henry Starr came to Mexican Hill with his company on June 15, , he noted in his diary that travelers still used ropes attached to the back of the wagons to try to slow their descent and control their speed. Eventually a detour with a long, gradual slope to the river bottom was developed a mile or so farther west. The Mexican Hill descent was abandoned. All photos are by the author.
