History of Pinnacle Pass Guided Hike

Join rangers on a short 1.10 mile guided hike to Pinnacle Pass. This feature of the California Trail is located on private land and only accessible to the public through this hike. The hike is easy to moderate, with a small hill leading up to the pass. Along the way you will see where the California Trail went south and met with the Salt Lake Alternate Trail, you will see emigrant signatures, and it is common to see snakes and fairy shrimp!
