Step back in time as you follow the paths of the emigrants. 

Exploring this region on interpretive walks and hikes you can almost hear the clip-clop of oxen and the rumble of wagon wheels, as countless emigrants scaled the mighty Sierra Nevada in search of a better life. Learn about the success of the Stephens Party; the tragic events the Donner Party endured; and the importance of the transcontinental railroad.

The Donner Party Hike is a weekend of interpretive hikes, talks, exploration and history. Saturday offers hikes to several locations on the Donner Summit area. Sunday offers an additional walking tour and exploration/education at the Donner Memorial State Park.
