Wylder Resort Hope Valley history presentation: Daring and Dangerous Donner Summit

Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra History series with a 50-minute slideshow “Daring and Dangerous Donner Summit” on Sunday, February 12 at 2 p.m. The 50-minute slide show uses rare and seldom-seen photographs.

Local historian 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 to rescue 226 passengers and crew from a snow-bound train to the enthusiastic citizens of a highway “Snow Shoveling Bee,” the improbable stories are legion.

The program is free and open to the public and will be held at the Café at Wylder Resort on CA Hwy. 88. Please call David at 760 920-8061 for more information.
