“Donner Pass”的意思、由来-百科全书

Donner Pass

pass, California, United States

pass, in the Sierra Nevada of northern California, U.S. Rising to an elevation of more than 7,000 feet (2,100 metres), it lies 35 miles (55 km) west-southwest of Reno, Nevada. During the winter of 1846–47, George and Jacob Donner lost nearly half of a party of more than 80 immigrants when they tried to cross the pass en route to the Sacramento Valley. The party was blocked by snow in the Sierra Nevada, and, when their food ran out, some survived by eating the corpses of their fallen companions. The pass now represents the most important transmontane route (rail and highway) connecting San Francisco with Reno. It lies within Tahoe National Forest, and Donner Memorial State Park is nearby.
