Overview

Overview:
The lure of the West and GOLD! Since 1848 the gold country of California has beckoned. This region encompasses the counties of Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Grass Valley/Nevada, Madera, Mariposa, Placcer, Sacramento, Sierra, Tuolumne and Yosemite National Park. From white-water rafting to caving, excellent skiing to horseback tours, discovering the old west and the thrill of the gold mining days is still very much alive. Railroads, mines, wineries, camping, scenic hikes and drives, and lets not leave out prospecting...geologists estimate 70 percent of California's gold is still waiting to be found! This region definitely has something for everyone to enjoy. It is especially great for family vacations.
