Most of the trails will be between 5000 to 9000 feet. Carson Iceberg Wilderness Straddling the Sierra Nevada range, the Carson -Iceberg high country represented a formidable barrier to trappers, explorers and settlers. The first crossing of the Sierra in this area by people other than Indians was in 1827 by Jedediah Smith in 1825. The earliest emigrant crossing was in 1841 by the Bartleson-Bidwell party. Horse should be trained to cross streams and creeks and be in a picket line at night.
