Summary: In 1776, as Americans fought for their independence in the East, Spanish Captain Juan Bautista de Anza led almost 300 people over 1200 miles to settle Alta California. It was the first overland route established to connect New Spain with San Francisco. Now thanks to the preservation of this historic trail, you can walk in their footsteps from Arizona to San Francisco, California. This week we're speaking with Margaret Styles from the National Park service about this historic trail.
