Daley Toll Road Monument

Edward Daley and Company cut this road in 1870, one of the first into the San Bernardino Mountains that a loaded wagon could actually manage, and charged for the privilege until 1890, when the county took it over. It is a Forest Service fire road now and closed to the public, so the monument marks a route you can stand beside and not travel. Highway 18 does the same job today, and does it so easily that the toll years are hard to picture.
