Summary[edit]

Description
English: Dedicated July 4, 2019 in commemoration of the original Camp Cajon Monument located about 300' north of this site, and dedicated July 4, 1919. [Inscription]. Camp Cajon was built on National Old Trails Road, which became U.S. Route 66 in 1926, and Camp Cajon became famous as “the gateway into Southern California.” It was the brainchild of William Bristol, a local orange grower, author, and poet. In 1917, Bristol attended the dedication of the Santa Fe and Salt Lake Trail monument that was built to honor the early settlers who traveled through the Cajon Pass. It was at this dedication that Bristol began to formulate his dream of building a picnic area where travelers could stop and rest in the Cajon Pass. Organizations like the Santa Fe Railroad, the Elks Club, and the Mission Inn in Riverside, built structures there. Camp Cajon was destroyed by the great flood of 1938, and the camp was abandoned. Route 66 was realigned, and Camp Cajon was nearly forgotten. Interstate 15 completely bypassed old Route 66 in 1970. In 2019, the new Camp Cajon monument was planned and constructed by the San Bernardino, Wrightwood, Highland, and Mohahve Historical societies. [description from https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=158045]. This monument is also listed as an historic site by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Arrowhead Parlor #110. See images and additional information at https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=158045 .
