This special educational tour takes participants on an epic adventure along a portion of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail corridor. The program shares stories of the historic Juan Bautista de Anza expedition that began 250 years ago, that spanned over 1,000 miles of the southwest.
We will stop at a few points of interest and take short hikes at a few stopping points along Highways 74 and 371; talking about the remote landscapes within the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountians that early settlers had to navigate, as well as the historical importance that this expedition had with its profound impact on the cultural and political landscapes of the United States.
