Color Trail, or Park, brochures of the California National Historic Trail may be found at many of the local and regional interpretive and tourism centers along the trail route. These brochures contain an informative history of the trail and a map of the entire trail length. You may also write or telephone the National Trails System office administering the California NHT to request that one be mailed to your address. The Trails office telephone number is: (801) 741-1012, and the mailing address is: National Park Service, 324 South State Street, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.
The featured links below are files (click this link to download the free Adobe Reader) for the California NHT Auto Tour Route Interpretive Guides. These are state by state guides that provide an overview of the trail history through each state and driving directions to suggested points of interest that provide interpretive media and/or educational services. These files are generally between 2mb and 4mb in size.
Once open, you may print the document on letter-size paper and/or save the file to your hard disk for future use. As these guides are researched and developed, additional state by state listings will appear on this page. Return to this page from time to time to find new editions and guides. The Auto Tour Route Interpretive Guide series can also be found as printed publications at many travel and tourism centers along the historic trail route.
