Eastern Sierra History Program presents Daring and Dangerous Donner Summit
Wylder Hotel Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series with a presentation of the Daring and Dangerous Donner Summit.
Using rare and seldom seen photographs, local historian and author David Woodruff recounts the interesting and often amusing tales that have helped shape one of America’s most favorite and well used mountain traffic corridors.
From the brave men and women who toiled round the clock for three days to rescue 226 passengers and crew from a snow bound train to the enthusiastic citizens of the highway “Snow Shoveling Bee,” the improbable stories are legion.
The 50-minute presentation is 3:00 PM, Saturday May 7 at Wylder Resort Hope Valley (formerly Sorenson’s Resort).
Located on Hwy 88, just one mile east of the Hwy 88 & 89 Jct. in Hope Valley. The program is free and open to the public.
Please call (760) 920-8061 for more information.
