Yankee Jim's Road: A Gold Rush Trail to Colfax

Yankee Jim's Road links Colfax and Foresthill through a historic wagon road once deemed a freeway by miners. Surveyor Thomas Young mapped it in 1857 and a May 1858 convention from Auburn and adjacent towns sought federal funding to improve Gold Country roads. The route features the 1930 suspension bridge, narrow canyon stretches, bullet-riddled signs, and waterfalls, offering a vivid historical drive ending at Canyon Way.
