This area is named after a 150+ year old mystery. Mathias Fege and Jacob Schroeder, ran a small farm & orchard here in the 1860s, but one day the pair were found shot dead. We'll never know what happened to the men, but there is more to see here than an old crime scene. The trail itself climbs the hillside and had good views across Washoe Lake to the Sierra Nevada mountains on the opposite side of the valley.
