South Upper Truckee Road
South Upper Truckee Road
The plaque reads:
Luther Pass Trail - Prepared for the Ascent
"We now prepared for the ascent of the mountain, we put all the oxen to one wagon, and started....The road is very steep in places, and runs up and along and around the side of the mountain" - J. Robert Brown, Sep 27, 1856
The Johnson Cutoff and Luther Pass trails intersected here. The inscription for Johnson Cutoff Marker 10 is on the other side of this T-marker.
