The Highway 50 Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to horse and wagon enthusiasts, and the historical reenactment of the "Great Western Migration".
We are a member and sponsor supported organization providing many family oriented fun filled events and activities. The Highway 50 Association invites you to participate in our 76th Anniversary run - in June of 2025.
Take a step back through the portals of time and relive the adventures and rigors of the early pioneers as they forged their way west.
It's a wonderful experience. When I have been on it we started in Carson City. I spent months preparing my horses for the ride. I am hoping to be able to take my grandson with me next year... Highlight of my life on many levels.
70th Annual Commemoration, thrilled to be a part of it all ... I always said I was born 150 years too late .... can't wait until tomorrow ..."WAGONS HO".
What a awesome event for family and friends to watch !! My first experience was over 60 years ago on the old highway 50 (pony express trail) still is a wonderful experience to see.
A great community group which recreates a wagon train trip from South Lake Tahoe to Placerville each June. The ride was a top ten life experience.

My family has participated for many years. my father in law was the Grand Marshall and also a Kit Carson man.
Love the dedication to History and the joy for kids and adults alike to enjoy!!
It's truly amazing to see the sights of Hwy 50 at 3-4 miles an hour, all while recreating an original wagon train with horses, cowboys, and mountain men! Make it a family vacation and see your children enjoy playing a part, and learning about their ancestors History.
Experiencing live history depicted & celebrated truly gives one an appreciation of pioneer life and the challenges that were faced during the western expansion. The horses & people & communities put in many many hours and I commend their passion, energy and commitment to this AWESOME event!!!
