The Bidwell-Bartelson Route of the California National Historic Trail was used
by the first overland emigrant party to travel to California in 1841. At Fort
Hall, near present-day Pocatello, Idaho, about half of the original party
changed their plans and decided to take the easier trail to the Oregon
territory. The remainder of the Bartleson-Bidwell party determined to continue
to California and headed west along the north shore of the Great Salt Lake.
The route was entirely unknown and water sources were scarce. Finally crossing
the desert west of the lake near Wendover, Nevada, they were forced to abandon
their wagons. Accompanied by their surviving animals, they eventually found
their way through the Ruby Mountains to the Humboldt River and ascended the
Sierra Nevada Mountains near the Walker River into California. Most of them
were nearly dead from starvation and exhaustion by the time they made it back
to civilization.
