Summit Valley:

Horsethief Canyon



Raids on the California ranchos in the 1840s netted hundreds, sometimes even thousands of horses. They came here to Horsethief Canyon to collect and stage for the murderous journey across the desert. Smaller canyons, arroyos, and niches made strategic points to keep the vaqueros and defenders from the valleys below at bay.
