CALIFORNIA TRAIL--GREENHORN CUTOFF
"About two miles southwest of this marker, the Greenhorn Cutoff ascended and wound through the hills for about twelve miles to avoid the river crossings in the Carlin Canyon."
Log only. Bring your own writing implement.
"Sometimes time stands still!"
California Trail ruts and swales wind across Northern Nevada - some touched only by the forces of nature since they were made by emigrant wagon trains on their way west in the mid 1800s.
Many of these irreplaceable historical trail segments lie on public land. They are yours to visit, but they belong to future generations. Markers like those you see in front of you have been installed to prevent accidental damage. By following the markers, you can walk in the footsteps of the pioneers; but take care, these trails can be damaged and lost forever. Tread lightly, walk on the trail, and refrain from driving on it. With your help, time can stand still.
For more information, take a brochure and talk to the staff at the California Trail Center.
If you have the time, please visit the Trail Center and to learn more about the experiences of the pioneers. They do an incredible job of preserving the history of the West.
Congratulations to NevadaBronco on this being his first FTF!
