Beckwourth Trail Historical Markers

Opened by Jim Beckwourth, the Beckwourth Trail was a significant trail that crossed the Sierra Mountains. Its main claim to fame was that it had the lowest elevation crossing of the mountains and was a much needed alternative to the difficult mountain crossings on the Carson and Truckee Trail routes. It departed from the Truckee Trail in present day Sparks, Nevada and headed west to Marysville, California.
