Explore the history of the Emigrant Trail with Docent Carl Gwyn. On this short hike starting at Carson Pass Station at 10:00 a.m., we will walk down to the where the old highway crosses the Emigrant Trail at Devil’s Ladder. From there we will follow the wagon track to register rocks where the immigrants from the east wrote their names with grease from their wagon wheels. These names have been preserved by the IOOF, which has painted over the original names with white paint. We will talk about the Mormon Battalion and the journey of the Mormon Emigrants back to Salt Lake City, which lead to the establishment of a major route for immigration from the east, the Mormon Emigrant Trail. We will pass the marker of an Unknown Pioneer and return to the station. The hike is about 1/2 mile long and will last about 45 minutes. Closed shoes are recommended.
