Gold seekers attempted to reach California in several ways. Trains did not traverse the distance, but could be taken to about the Mississippi River. Then seekers would travel by wagon or horse and possibly walking. Others took the long arduous trip around South America to reach the American west coast.

What were three routes miners took to ca?

Miners seeking to reach California during the Gold Rush took several key routes. The most popular was the overland route via the California Trail, which involved traveling overland from the eastern United States. Others opted for the sea route, either sailing around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America or taking a shorter route to the isthmus of Panama, then crossing the jungle and sailing to California. Each route had its challenges, but they all aimed to reach the goldfields quickly.
