- Description:
- Postcard view of Route 66 and the Cajon Pass in California. Back of card: BLUE CUT - Cajon Pass Cajon Pass (Spanish for box) has been used for nearly a century, where the old Spanish Trail crossed over the mountains that separated the desert from San Bernardino Valley. The first American to enter California by this pass was Jedediah Smith who entered in 1826 and again in 1827. Today highway 66 and the Santa Fe railroad follow the pass over the mountains. Smith's expedition did for the Southwest what Lewis and Clark did to the Northwest . . . M.P.
