Looking west to the Sierra Nevada crest, on the way to Donner Summit. Just outside the town of Truckee, California, and just off Interstate 80. Yes, this is the site where the ill-fated Donner Party wintered over on their way to California:

There's now a state park and interpretive center here. The classic account of the Donner Party remains George R. Stewart's _Ordeal by Hunger_. In contemporary accounts the lake is called "Truckee" Lake. Btw, the lake is natural and of glacial origin.

Maybe not so dumb at the time.
This place has many ghosts and is truly sad.
I have a friend with a cabin here.. and has had for many years. She says its not a "quiet" place to be often . Another friend hikes there every other year and is a very down to earth soul well used to wilderness and he hikes where others dont.. most of the year.... He finds the area uncomfortable at times.

slgwv club has replied to Pam J clubAnd, of course, the whole area is really built up now. There are lots of what we ironically call HCAs ("Humble Country Abodes") around the lake and on the ridge to the north, not to mention around Truckee itself. And both I-80 and the transcontinental railroad go thru there. It's not exactly the wilderness experience!
