The Cajon Pass- a little history...

Military Governor Pedro Fages may have been the first white man to travel through the Cajon Pass, during his pursuit of Spanish Army deserters in 1772. The famous frontiersman, Jedediah Strong Smith was the first American to travel through the Cajon Pass, as he worked his way West from Salt Lake City, during 1826.    He traversed the desert and came into the San Bernardino Valley through the Cajon Pass.
