South Upper Truckee Road
South Upper Truckee Road
The plaque reads:
Johnson Cutoff - Ascent of Johnson Pass
"It took fifty men of us and all the oxen we could hitch to the wagons to take thirteen wagons up in two days. It takes all the men...and four yoke oxen to move an empty wagon...It is just like climbing a tree only worse." - William Gobin, Oct 1852
The Johnson Cutoff and Luther Pass trails intersected here. The inscription for Luther Pass Marker 5 is on the other side of this T-marker.
