For comparison, there are the Oregon Trail ruts. One covered wagon following another. The wagons were pulled by horse or ox.
The last 3 images are supposedly of the Oregon Trail near Guernsey, WY. I am very skeptical of this as the Smithsonian Magazine describes these ruts as 5' deep in soft sandstone. The wagons didn't leave deep ruts in soil, but did in sandstone? What kind of wagon has a 5' high axle?
