On the trail of the Donner Party. Crossing the Truckee River fr the last time to begin climbing the Sierras. Truckee/Donner Lake where the party got stuck for the winter of 1846-47. Donner Summit where Marianne Graves looked back and marveled at the beauty of the scene despite horror of her situation. Finally, Emigrant Gap overlooking Bear Valley, a scene the Donner Party missed seeing due to one last poor decision that delayed their rescue for many more weeks. The entire journey was a tragedy of errors. . #donnerpass #donnerparty #emigrantgap (at Verdi-Mogul, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qKJh1Bt4I/?igshid=18itmof3wlf0t
