Troy

The Sierra Nevada defines the setting of Troy — high-country terrain, deep winter snow and the east–west travel corridor shape this small California locality. Troy lies in the mountains west of Donner Pass, an important route across the range whose name recalls the Donner Party’s difficult 1846–47 journey. The wider pass corridor was also used by the first transcontinental railroad, completed in 1869, linking California with the rest of the United States by rail. Today Interstate 80 follows this mountain passage, while forests and snow-season recreation characterize the surrounding country.
