The Donner Party
The Donner Party's tragic journey west ended in disaster when an early winter trapped them in the Sierra Nevada in 1846. Pioneers were forced to camp at Donner Lake as massive storms blocked the mountain passes with snow. Meteorologist Matt Monroe describes the unrelenting conditions the group faced, from freezing cold to dwindling supplies.
