Old Ridge Route Tours

The Ridge Route is currently under repair, to get the latest go here

This year we are commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the arrival of the Transcontinental Stagecoach, the "Butterfield Overland Stage", in our mountains. Stage lines had been running between Northern and Southern California but on October 8th, 1858 the first stage arrived at our local stop at Fort Tejon connecting us with the rest of the United States. Through this monumental event newspapers, mail and military dispatches arrived in a more timely manner.more information on this here.

Also this year, we are commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the opening of Highway 99. The first highway through these mountains was the "Ridge Route" as it ran along the ridge tops. The new Highway 99 or "Ridge Route Alternate", was located in the canyons to the west of that first road. It was a dangerous three lane road that was later changed to four lanes and named the "Golden State Highway". More here
