Nobles Emigrant Trail
Nobles Emigrant Trail traverses the northern border of the park, skirting the highest peaks along the way. It drops south to Hat Lake and turns northwest and exits the park near Manzanita Lake. The Park Highway, California Hwy 89, follows the trail for several miles northwest from Hat Lake, top left. Right, a sample of the terrain that the emigrants had to negotiate on their journey. Noble tried to improve on Peter Lassen's trail which curved north then dropped south of his namesake park. Nobles's Trail may have been shorter, but the traveling was no easier.
