Interesting Points along the Way
Briceburg -Originally known as Bear Creek, 61 miles from Merced. Picturesque vistas here for
which the Yosemite Valley Railroad journey is famous. Immediately across
the river the new Briceburg-El Portal Highway parallels our right of way.
This fine highway was constructed in part by convict labor.
Named Briceburg after Mr. Brice had opened a store at this location.
