Henness Pass goes back to the time of the mammoth hunters. This passage over the Sierra Nevada was a transportation corridor for thousands of years. It was used by migrating nomad groups and was a trade route for the Washoe Tribe and others. Over time, the game trails became Indian footpaths and mountain men blazed wagon routes that became stage roads, railroads and finally, automobile highways. The histories of Nevada, California, and the nation were forged by the people who have moved across the Sierra since the dawn of time.
This is your moment to retrace the paths of the mammoth hunters, Indians and pioneers from days gone by.
