Lassen Trail - Pit River Canyon
"We were unable to cross the stream quite a number of times, in consequence of the canons of rock which confine it
to a narrow bed" - Amos Batchelder, Sep 29, 1849
Near the present Pit River-Happy Camp Road this old pioneer trail, part of one of the earliest roads in northeastern California, is yet easily
traced. Trees eight to ten inches in diameter are growing in the old road bed.
