48 of 87 pioneers survived the trip. Near Truckee Lake, Northwest of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the border of North California and Nevada, the Party could go no further. Most survived by cannibalizing their family members and others who died of starvation in what is now known as The Donner Pass.

It was a relatively easy way for wagon to make it through the Sierra Nevada mountain range (at the time it was called Hastings Cutoff). It made for a straight shot between Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. The Donner party made it famous by getting stranded there during a poorly advised winter crossing attempt. Donner pass is still used today. Hwy 80 goes through it between California and Nevada.

What mountains did the donner party have to cross?
There was only one major mountain range that the Donner Party had to cross through. The Rocky Mountain. The Rockys caused a lot of trouble for the people going out to west. The Donner Party took off late from Independence, MO, so the Donner Party got stuck in the Rockys. That's what caused the Donner Party to become so famous and the number of people going to the west decreased dramatically. Then the Gold Rush started and the numbers went way up.
