Stoddard-Waite Monument

The Stoddard-Waite Monument marks the place where the Old Spanish Trail and Mormon Road passed through Cajon Canyon near Cajon Pass in modern-day San Bernardino County, California. In 1849, Sheldon Stoddard and Sydney P. Waite (whose names the monument bears) passed through the area as members of wagon trains headed to California. The San Bernardino Society of Pioneers built the Monument in 1912. A dedication ceremony was held on May 18, 1913, and the monument was designated a California Historic Landmark (No.578) on May 17, 1957. The Marker is south of the I-15, on Cleghorn Road and is 16 miles (26 km) north of San Bernardino on a dirt road. Formerly this property was the Elsie Arey May Nature Center, but is now private land. The marker is closely related to the nearby Santa Fe And Salt Lake Trail Monument.
