Donner Pass

This picture was taken from Donner Pass overlooking Donner Lake on Lincoln Highway (old Route 40) about nine (9) miles West of Truckee, California.  The Pass is located in the Northern Sierra Mountain Range and has been used for many transportation escapades including California Trail, First Transcontinental Railroad and Overland Route.  Today the area is home to Ski Resorts such as Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, and the Boreal.  One is looking Westward in the photo.
