A photo for Bee

Recognize it?

I have absolutely no idea where I took this photo, I simply don't remember.

Not far from your Donner Summit Bridge are some very interesting petroglyphs:
CA-NEV 5 site just off the old Highway 40 (Now Donner Pass Road).

And some historical plaques dealing with the railway ( "Chinese Wall" ) and early explorers/travellers over the pass:

See this old newspaper story:

The scenery alone is reason to take your child to Donner Pass. While you're there, enjoy the rich history of the area, check out the rock climbers practicing on Bastille Slab and School Rock, bring a picnic and take a short hike on a segment of the Pacific Crest Trail. >
