Your Adventure Starts Here

They say a picture is worth a thousand words; we say a visit is worth a thousand memories. Welcome to Gold Country, the land of our passions. The region's history is centered around the Gold Rush of the 1860's as transportation and supply routes were established to get supplies in and gold out.

Reminders of this heritage is visible in many of the communities through their museums and heritage buildings.

Today visitors are invited to enjoy wide open spaces in the mountains; velvet sage deserts changing to lavender; untouched floral meadows tucked inside lush pine forests and rugged ranchlands rolling on and on.

Rainbow hued mountain rock faces diving to deep-walled canyons; babbling brooks that flow to pure cascading waterfalls and pristine lakes nestled in nature's purity - a package wrapped by the ribbons of our proud and mighty rivers.

Adventures, excitement and communities that invite you.to join as family, in celebration of our heritage and traditions.
