Settlers began moving into the Bear River Valley (now known as the Yampa River) in the 1860's. The lush river valley was prime real estate and the settlers could take advantage of the homestead act to lay claim to 160 acres by just having it surveyed. 
In 1861, following a railroad survey done by Lt. E.D. Berthoud, the first access route from Denver to Salt Lake City was mapped. One hundred Mormon travelers first followed this route from the Front Range into the Bear River Valley. They traveled over Boulder Pass into Middle Park, over Gore Pass and into Egeria Park, and then through 20 Mile Park and into the Bear River Valley near Hayden.
A very difficult and hazardous wagon trail along the railroad survey was thus established.
