One of
these rough wagon trails was improved in 1850 by freighting -company owners
Phineas Banning and W.T.B. Sanford. This
trail, known as “The Sanford Trail”, meandered through the western side of the
Pass. Although the Sanford Trail was slightly more passable than the pack trail
it replaced, the Sanford Trail was still narrow and treacherous in places, and
the steep grade was very difficult for large wagons.
