	Friends of Hope Valley
		The East Carson River is fed by the melting snows from the Sierra Nevada, flowing eastward for more than 57 miles through California and into the Nevada desert.
		The East Carson transitions through a visually and biologically distinctive mosaic of vegetation; from high alpine meadows, to sub-alpine fir and white pine forests, to the dominant eastside forests of Jeffrey pine, and then to the pinyon-juniper-sagebrush ecosystem of the Great Basin desert.
		Having this remarkable river protected for future generations ensures that habitat for terrestrial and aquatic species will be preserved, as well as contributing to the economy of the region as many businesses rely on a healthy and vibrant environment to attract tourists dollars to the area.

	The Carson Emigrant Trail to Carson Valley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Hope Valley was broad and level compared to the narrow rocky valleys the immigrants would have to traverse in the Truckee River route.
		The Carson Emigrant Trail not only served the needs of Hangtown, by which Placerville would be known in 1849 and the early 1850s, it also served as a convenient way for argonauts to go on to Sacramento and San Francisco, and virtually all the northern mines.
		The Carson Emigrant Trail was the most widely used route for settlers and prospectors coming to California until the development of a wagon road across Johnson's Cutoff and the Echo Summit in the late 1850s.

	NSLA - Historical Myth a Month - Canyon Confusion
		A rugged section of the Carson River valley between Carson City and Dayton is commonly misidentified as Brunswick Canyon.
		The Carson River stretches some 180 miles from the picturesque Sierra Nevada in Alpine County, California, into the Churchill County, Nevada, desert where it disappears in the Carson Sink.
		Maybe because the Brunswick Canyon meets the Carson River so close to where the river leaves Eagle Valley, to course through rugged terrain, before reaching Dayton that people have mistakenly assumed the canyons are one and the same.

		The Chippewa River flows through a valley which was carved, thousands of years ago, by a torrent of glacial meltwaters.
		As the glacier ice retreated north and the force of the current weakened, the valley was partially refilled by sand and gravel that had been carried downstream by the water.
		Finally, there was the river itself - a major waterway which must have served as an important canoe route through the wilderness.
