TRAILS WEST -- MARKERS OF THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL

A GUIDE TO THE NOBLES TRAIL AN EMIGRANT TRAILS WEST GUIDEBOOK BY TRAILS WEST, INC.

In 1852, William Nobles opened a route from the Applegate Trail near Rabbithole Spring on the Applegate Trail to the City of Shasta west of Redding, California.  That route became known as the "Nobles Trail." The information in this Guide to the Nobles Trail is similar to the information Trails West has included in both the Guides to the California Trail and the Applegate Trail.  Marker inscriptions, directions to the Trails West Markers along that trail, quotations excerpted from emigrant diaries and journals, unique maps that detail the Nobles Trail from Rabbit Hole Springs to Shasta City, supplemental maps to help the traveler find all of the markers and other locations, numerous photos, suggested hikes, and historical commentaries or Tales of the Trail are included.
