then and now

Road and Rocks Crested Peak (Donner Peak)

At this point on the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Road, travelers still had a mile to go to cross Donner Summit. The wagon of the photographer, Alfred A. Hart, is visible in the lower left corner. His description reads "Road and Rocks at Foot of Crested Peak," now named Donner Peak. Wonder why he didn't mention the wagons and animals? Photo location 39° 19.063'N 120° 19.040'W
