Mojave Desert History -

Opening the Mojave River Trail

The opening of the Mojave River Trail segment of the Old Spanish Trail was embodied in the history of the trappers. This dauntless breed of men moved around the West like a dynamic tide flooding into all the un-trapped hunting areas. They risk their lives for the chance of netting $200-$1000 a year, and for adventure.
