TRUCKEE.
Nestling in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, at an elevation of
nearly 6,000 feet, lies the city of Truckee, whose birth dates back to
the construction days of the first trans-continental railroad, when its
virgin forests materially assisted in solving the problems of the
pioneers of railroad building in the west.
With a past which was closely associated with early historical
lore, as it was near here that the ill-fated Donner party passed the
disastrous winter of 1846-47, and with a future which is destined to
make its name bear to the people of the west the same significance as
the Alps to Switzerland, Truckee enjoys the unique distinction of
being among the few playgrounds of the west, able to appeal to the
pleasure loving public, at all seasons of the year in nature’s own way.
With its rugged mountains and beautiful scenery, fine hunting and
unexcelled fishing, lake resorts and winter sports, nature makes this
region a natural paradise for the tourist. Its close proximity to Tahoe,
Donner, Independence, and Webber Lakes, gives this section facilities
for appealing to all classes of people; while the Truckee River passes
through the city and Campbell’s hot springs is within a few hours ride.
