If you stop in at the museum,( which is a must!) you can get that information there. They have two guided tours a day, also. The museum is really well done and there is a great free movie to enjoy.
The Ranger there are more than helpful
The actual Donner family had set up camp about 5 miles North East of Donner lake. Look on line to see the story. Great story!
