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.
Yep, they are still stuck there. Jk, the 48 of 87 who survived were rescued in February of 1847.
The group left too late in the spring, so when they were getting into the mountains the winter snows hit. They were stuck.
Hudson Stuck died in 1920.
Stuck in the Suburbs does have a dvd. The movie is a Disney movie.
The donner party got stuck in snow because they were caught in a huge snowfall.

The Donner Party became trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the winter of 1846-1847. They were stranded near Donner Lake, which is located in present-day California. Heavy snowfall and difficult conditions prevented them from continuing their journey to California, leading to severe hardships and tragic outcomes for the group.
The group left too late in the spring, so when they were getting into the mountains the winter snows hit. They were stuck.
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.
They built shelters to live in and slaughtered their animals for food. At the very end of their ordeal, some of them ate human flesh to stay alive.
The Donner Party took off from Independence, MO too late. Back then, you didn't have any good transpertation system like we do now. So they had to rely on wagons. They couldn't take off too early because the grass was needed the horse/mule/oxen to eat. They couldn't take off too late because they wouldn't be able to cross the Rockys because of the snow. So the timing was very important. The Donner Party took off too late so they got stuck on the Rockys.
