At the western end of the Mohave Desert, the trail climbed the Coast Range by way of Cajon Pass (left), and the emigrants made fairly easy time down the western slopes to Rancho San Bernardino, and to Los Angeles.
From Los Angeles (below, as it looked circa 1853) the gold-seekers traveled northward to the mines. They might go overland, or after traveling some thirty miles from the Pueblo to the coast, they might get passage by ship to San Francisco.
