 Bureau of Land Management - Surprise Resource Area - California National Historic Trail and Fandango Pass
The road, as it switchbacks down to the Valley, crosses the Applegate Lassen route of the California National Historic Trail a number of times.
In 1849, by far the most used route to California crossed the Nevada dessert to Surprise Valley and over Fandango Pass, on the route pioneered by Peter Lassen.
But there were no switchbacks for the wagons of the pioneers and the fact that the trail traces come straight up a mountain so steep it is almost unbelievable.

 Amazon.com: Books: The Oregon Trail (The Penguin American Library)
Living at the main jumping-off point of the Oregon, Santa Fe and California Trails, and having traveled frequently throughout the great plains and Rocky Mountains, I thought this book would be a good read.
Francis Parkman lived the Oregon Trail, slept it, ate it, marveled at it, and wrote an excellent memoir that leaves one with the feel of sand in your boots and the smell of buffalo roasting on the fire.
Written as an account of a summer he spent traveling the Oregon Trail, Parkman captures the details of communal Native American life with no sentimentality, just hard reality.
