- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Steamboats, stagecoaches, and railroads were among the great innovations that helped open the American West. Before steamboats navigated the Colorado River, supplies reached Yuma only by wagon train—an arduous journey often compared to crossing the Sahara or Gobi deserts.

Traveling from the California coast to Yuma was a treacherous gamble. Freight was slow, dangerous, and extremely expensive, often costing between $500 and $800 per ton to move goods across the harsh desert terrain.

Everything changed with the arrival of riverboats on the Colorado River. These steamboats transformed life in Yuma, making it easier to transport supplies, people, and news to this remote desert outpost.
