The local historic towns of Sonora, Columbia, Jamestown, Twain Harte, and Groveland offer live theater, festivals, art galleries, museums, antiquing, shopping, and more. Plus the area has become known for its unique dining options where you’ll find everything from gourmet California cuisine to Mexican specialties to upscale Italian eateries.  

Travel back to a 19th century mining town by visiting Columbia State Historic Park, a living gold rush town featuring the largest single collection of existing gold-rush era structures in the state.  In nearby Jamestown, you’ll find Railtown 1897 State Historic Park, known as “The Movie Railroad” since hundreds of movies have been filmed there.  Here you can explore one of America’s last intact, still-operating railroad roundhouses, portions of which date back to 1897, and enjoy a 45-minute train ride through the scenic Sierra Foothills.  

Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties are full of caves and caverns, like Natural Bridges where you can take a short hike through spectacular scenery to a beautiful spot where you can swim or tube through a cave with calm water flowing through it.  Black Oak Casino Resort is also only a little over an hour to the Northern gate of Yosemite National Park where you’ll find the iconic granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome, the thundering Bridalveil Fall, ancient giant sequoias, and vast wilderness.
