Unravel the Land Of Gold – Visit the California Gold Country

Planning a vacation? Unravel the California Gold Country with Gold Country Visitors Guide this season and relive the thrills of California Gold Rush towns of Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties all over again.
Also referred to as the "Sierra Foothills", California Gold Country was established when a carpenter discovered gold in the American River at Sutter's Mill in 1848. By 1849, the Gold Rush was in full swing with bustling mining camps springing up all over the region.
A visit to the heart of Gold Country today is a mix of rich history and bountiful nature at its finest. Comprising the northern and western foothill reaches of the Sierra Nevada along Highway 49, California's Gold Country is rich with scenic hill towns, oak lined byways, calming rivers, glacially-carved lake basins, and, as the region's informal place name suggests, old mines, flumes, rails and mining towns betokening the initial mad gold rush and the long legacy of mineral extraction.
