State Route 88
State Route 88 (SR 88), also known as the Carson Pass Highway,[2][3] is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. It travels in an east–west direction from Stockton, in the San Joaquin Valley, to the Nevada state line, where it becomes Nevada State Route 88, eventually terminating at U.S. Route 395 (US 395). The highway is so named as it crests the Sierra Nevada at Carson Pass. The highway corridor predates the era of the automobile; the path over Carson pass was previously used for the California Trail and the Mormon Emigrant Trail. The mountainous portion of the route is included in the State Scenic Highway System.
SR 88 is one of the few trans-Sierra state routes that Caltrans attempts to keep open year-round. Caltrans has winter closures in effect for all Sierra Nevada highway passes between Carson Pass and Walker Pass (SR 178),[4] a span of over 200 miles (320 km). SR 88 follows a ridge to ascend most of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.[5] The highway is occasionally used as a detour when U.S. Route 50, which follows the South Fork American River to ascend the Sierra Nevada, is flooded or otherwise closed.[6][7]
SR 88 begins just outside Stockton as Waterloo Road, heading northeast towards Waterloo and Lockeford. After leaving the city, the route passes by several farms, vineyards and orchards, some of which have roadside stands and stores, in between the small towns in the San Joaquin Valley served by the route.[8] While passing through farming villages in the valley, the highway has a brief concurrency with SR 12. The two routes separate to pass along opposite sides of the Camanche Reservoir, where SR 88 enters Amador County. As the road enters Amador County, the route begins an ascent up the foothills of the Sierra Nevada towards Jackson.[5]
Between Sunnybrook and Martell, the road runs adjacent the corridor of the Amador Central Railroad, an abandoned freight rail line, purchased and operated by the Amador County Historical Society and other heritage railway enthusiasts who sponsor occasional train rides along the route.[9][10] The route enters Jackson, the largest town traversed in the Sierra foothills by the highway. The highway runs concurrent with SR 49 through the town. Many locations along SR 49, including Jackson, originated as settlements during the California Gold Rush of 1849, and have a rich gold mining history.[11][12][13] Both routes 49 and 88 have been re-routed around the historic part of downtown and onto a four-lane road to the west of the historic district.[5] SR 88 separates from SR 49 and leaves Jackson following Jackson Creek to climb to the small town of Pine Grove. Along this ascent the road passes to the south of the Jackson Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians and SR 88 is used as an access road for both the tribal nation and the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort operated by the tribe.[14]
To scale the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, East of Pine Grove Highway 88 follows a ridge that separates the watershed of the North Fork Mokelumne River to the south of the highway, with a number of other watersheds to the north. At lower elevations the watershed to the north of this ridge is initially Sutter Creek, later the South Fork Cosumnes River, and later still that of the Middle Fork Cosmunes River. At the highest elevations the watershed to the north of the road and the ridge is the Silver Fork American River. Several overlooks are located at spots where SR 88 follows this ridge which provide views into the canyons of each of these rivers. For several miles this ridge, and by extension SR 88, form the boundary between Amador and El Dorado County.[5] In the lower parts of this ridge are the settlements of Pioneer and Buckhorn. Two small settlements are located in the higher elevations of this ridge, Cooks Station, and Ham's Station. Both of these are today known as locations where Caltrans implements traveling restrictions during winter storms, such as requiring tire chains, restricting certain vehicles or complete closures.[15] Where this ridge crosses the divide between the Cosumnes and American Rivers is where the road joins the Mormon Emigrant Trail, which follows a different ridge up the mountains from the modern U.S. Route 50 corridor near Sly Park.[5] This trail is so named for the Mormons in California during the gold rush, who created this path to rejoin the Mormon migration to Utah.[16] Just past Silver Lake, Route 88 reaches a geographic feature known as the Carson Spur. This is where this ridge effectively ends, and the road follows a dynamited path down to the Kirkwood Mountain Resort and the small town of Kirkwood, where the road crosses into Alpine County.[17] The Carson Spur section is prone to frequent avalanches in the winter and is periodically closed for avalanche control measures.[18][19] In the final push up to Carson Pass the road passes by Caples Lake.[5]
While the road uses ridges for the western approach to Carson Pass, the eastern approach rapidly descends into the West Fork Carson River canyon, reaching the river level in Hope Valley. Along this descent, the road features a view area overlooking Red Lake. The highway joins with SR 89 while inside the valley, at a place known as Pickett's Junction. The two routes run concurrent through Woodfords Canyon of the Carson River, which provides the final descent out of the Sierra Nevada. At the mouth of the canyon is the small town of Woodfords, where SR 89 separates from SR 88 and proceeds towards Markleeville.[5] Hope Valley, Woodsfords Canyon and Markleeville are often cited as one of the best areas for autumn foliage viewing in the state of California.[20][21] Shortly after exiting the mountains the highway reaches the Carson Valley, where it turns due north and becomes one of the main thoroughfares of the valley. SR 88 reaches the Nevada state line where it becomes Nevada State Route 88 which proceeds due north towards U.S. Route 395.[17]
SR 88 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[22] and the National Highway System.[23][24] The portion over the Sierra Nevada is included in the State Scenic Highway System[25][26][27] and is designated a National Forest Scenic Byway.[2] Per Annual Average Daily Traffic data for 2020, the western terminus near Stockton is the most heavily used part of the road, averaging 24,100 vehicles per day. The lightest traffic counts, 1,450 vehicles per day, are at the Kirkwood turnoff. However, Caltrans notes that there is significant seasonal variation for traffic at the ski resort, with peak month traffic counts increasing to 3,600 vehicles per day at this location.[28] Route 88 is one of three routes to continue with the same route number after crossing into Nevada, the others being Routes 28 and 266.[17]
The portion of Route 88 east of Antelope Springs, near Buckhorn, started as the Amador/Nevada Wagon Route, a toll road with a franchise granted in 1852[29] and surveyed in 1857.[30] While the route was based on the existing Kit Carson trail and Old Emigrant Road, among the primary reasons for granting the toll road franchise was to fund a realignment of the portion from Tragedy Spring to Caples Lake. In its original form, the road connected these landmarks by looping around the Silver Lake basin, over a high mountain ridge near Emigrant Lake reaching an elevation of 9,640 feet (2,940 m). This was a treacherous routing, and was rerouted via blasting a path through the Carson Spur in 1863.[31] The path through the Carson Spur was re-dynamited and widened to its current form in 1960.[29]
The first numerical designation for the Amador County portion of modern SR 88 was SR 8, which overlaps the present highway from Alpine County to Jackson. Unlike modern SR 88, it continued south to Mokelumne Hill, then to Valley Springs along modern State Route 26 and a small portion of SR 49. A portion of modern Route 88 west of Jackson was then part of SR 104.[32] During the 1940s, maps of the area showed both the 8 and 88 designations in use. The original alignment south and west of Jackson retained the SR 8 designation, while the modern alignment of SR 88, where the roads existed, used the 88 designation.[33][34]
Significant parts of the highway have been re-aligned and improved from the original wagon trail. A bypass of Jackson's historical district was completed in 1948.[11] The modern form of the highway was assigned the 88 designation by the time the California Department of Highways, predecessor agency to Caltrans, announced major upgrades for the highway were in progress or recently completed in 1958. Already completed was a re-alignment of the eastern approach to Carson Pass. Originally the eastern approach ran along the south shore of Red Lake. The realigned highway passes the lake to the north. This change lengthened the approach, but reduced the grade. Improvements expected to be completed soon included paving a road to be used for the highway west of Martell towards what is today SR 124 and re-alignments along parts of the ridge, including bypassing a mountain in the ridge area called Peddler's Hill.[35]
The highway was not originally maintained in the winter, but became the most recent trans-Sierra Nevada highway to remain open year round in 1971. This change coincided with a change in ownership, and construction to significantly expand what is now called the Kirkwood Mountain Resort - which lies between Carson Pass and the Carson Spur. The developers building the resort agreed to build and donate maintenance facilities for Caltrans and contribute funds for snow plowing.[36]
As the SR 88 corridor has history that predates the automobile, there are a number of historical markers and landmarks along the roadway. These include:
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see California postmile § Official postmile definitions).[47] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
