In 1848 Peter Burnett blazed this trail from Oregon City in Oregon Territory to the California gold fields. The route followed the Applegate Trail south and eastward to Tule Lake, then turned southward, probably along an earlier trail used by John C. Frémont. Burnett's original party consisted of 50 wagons and about 150 men, and traces of the route are still visible about 300 feet behind this location.
