| From the Guidebook: |
In 1844, while exploring
and mapping the area of what is presently the western
United States, Lt. John C. Frémont's party passed
through northern Mono County during the last week of January.
After passing through Mono County, Frémont passed
over the Sierra and travelled to Sutter's Fort in the
Sacramento Valley, where the party rested. To leave California
the expedition headed south through the San Joaquin Valley,
and then headed easterly to leave California by the Old
Spanish Trail to Utah.
