cross country skiing.

For two weeks in August, Bear Valley offers you “Music From Bear 
Valley” voted the best summer attraction in the Central Sierra.  The 
Music From Bear Valley Festival offers a full symphony orchestra, 
International soloists, legendary entertainers and renowned opera 
stars in a unique outdoor mountain setting under the shelter of a 
large 1250 seat tent.

Bear Valley, Dorrington and Camp Connell comprise the Ebbett’s Pass 
corridor.  At 3,000 to 6,000 feet elevation, we experience the 
beauty of four very distinct seasons. Spring is a glorious show of 
new growth and color, summer brings warmer weather (70 to 90) which 
means lots of chances for hiking, boating, fishing, wine tasting and 
other activities, fall exhibits the change in seasons with changes 
showing the wonder of leaf color again, and winter weather (20 - 30) 
wears a blanket of snow for skiing, sledding, inner tube down a hill 
or building snow people.  Hiking, camping and backpacking through the
scenic and vast Stanislaus wilderness area is magnificent in all 
seasons.

Hwy. 4, Ebbett’s Pass and Monitor Pass create the home of the 
famous "Tour of the California Alps, The Death Ride" for great road 
biking.

For the spelunker, explore Moaning Caverns, Mercer Caverns or Cave 
City anytime throughout the year. 

Angels Camp was started in 1848 with a trading post owned by Henry 
Angel of Rhode Island.  The town is tagged with Angels and 
Amphibians.  The Angels Camp Museum is filled with artifacts of the 
Gold Rush era and includes a unique carriage house.

Angels Camp has been linked with frogs for all time from the world 
famous literature writer Mark Twain. Twain wrote his first 
successful short story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras 
County” in 1864.  The Jumping Frog Jubilee and Calaveras County Fair 
are held every year during the third week in May.

Angels Camp boasts another famous author Bret Harte and is also the 
home of World Class Ski Racer and two-time World Cup Champion Kyle 
Rasmussen of the U.S. Ski Team. 

Many golf  courses are in the area. Sequoia Woods in Arnold is 
within 10 minutes, Forest Meadows in Forest Meadows is within 15 
minutes,and Green Horn Creek in Angels Camp is within 30 minutes. A 
9-hole course at Meadowmont is 5 minutes away in Arnold.

Boating, water skiing, river rafting, kayaking, swimming and fish 
are all offered close by at numerous lakes and mountain streams 
including the Stanislaus River, Mokelumne River, Bear Creek, 
Rattlesnake Creek, Alpine Lake, Mosquito Lake, Union and Utica 
Reservoirs and New Spicer Reservoir to name a few.

New Melones Lake, Pardee reservoir, Don Pedro reservoir, New Hogan 
reservoir and Comanche reservoirs are within a 45 minute drive or 
less for power boats  and water skiing.  

Wine making  has exploded in the area with 15 or more wineries open 
for tasting.  Some of the award winning wineries are Stevenot 
Vineyards, Chatom Winery, Black Sheep Vintners, Indian Rock 
Vineyards, Kautz Ironstone Vineyards and Millaire Winery.  Special 
events are the Passport weekend in June, the Calaveras Grape Stomp 
in October and the Holiday Open houses in December.

shuffleboard, baseball diamond, playground, archery, picnic areas,

Pine brook Lake is much like Lakemont Pines lake with the addition

White Pines Lake is a large and beautiful lake which is open to the 
public with a vast picnic area and great beaches. The well-stocked 
lake is great for fishing with the kids! Open seven days a week, 24 
hours a day -  no fee.

Mokelumne Hill or “Moke Hill,” as the locals call it, was the 
richest of the digs in gold country.

Mokelumne Hill  was founded in 1848 and is known as one of the most 
violent, bawdy towns in the Mother Lode.  Main Street Mokelumne Hill 
is directly adjacent to Hwy. 49 between Jackson and San Andreas.

West Point on Hwy. 26 was named by Kit Carson as he traveled with 
Captain John Fremont searching for a pass over the Sierra Nevada 
Mountain Range.  Hunting and fishing, including a trout hatchery, 
are good in this area.

San Andreas was settled by Mexican Gold Miners in 1848.  The first 
church, built in 1852 was named for St. Andrew and the name of the 
town was taken from the church.

In August, 1852 the large San Andreas Nugget was found in a claim 
and sold to the Wells Fargo company for $12,000.  In 1859 more than 
$500,000 in gold dust was shipped from San Andreas.

Two famous or infamous names are often tied to San Andreas, Black 
Bart and Joaquin Murieta.

Black Bart, the handsome, debonair gentleman bandit never harmed 
drivers or passengers and left some original verse behind 
signed “PO8.”

Black Bart held up the Milton-Sonora stage on November 3, 1883. A 
handkerchief with a laundry mark traced back to a San Francisco 
Laundry was identified as belonging to C. E. Bolton one of the 
city’s leading citizens.  He was arrested and brought back to San 
Andreas after confessing to the robbery.  He served six years in San 
Quentin Prison.  The original jail still stands and is part of the 
Calaveras County Historical Museum Complex.

Valley Springs in 1885 was the eastern terminus for the San Joaquin 
and Sierra Nevada Narrow Gauge Railroad.  Pacific Railroad bought 
the line in 1888 and rail travel was extended throughout the area.

Copperopolis has a history closely tied to the Civil War. In 1860, 
19 million pounds of copper made Calaveras County the second in 
national production of this ore.

Copperopolis offers some of the finest “home made” olive oils as a 
new industry in the town.  Lake Tulloch is a year round water 
wonderland.

Murphys is the Queen of the Sierra, settled in 1848 by the brothers 
Daniel and John Murphy. This picturesque village is known today for 
its natural attractions including caverns, a charming Main Street 
with friendly merchants.

Murphys has a climate that closely imitates that of some superb wine 
regions in France.  Numerous wineries have staked their claim within 
a four-mile radius of Main Street, six of them have unique tasting 
rooms and other facilities open to the public.

15 miles up the mountain, A. T. Dowd put Calaveras on the 
international map when he discovered the huge groves of Giant 
Sequoia Redwoods.  Because the fame grew so quickly, by 1855 the 
Sperry & Perry Hotel - now knows as Murphys Historic Hotel and Lodge 
was built to accommodate travelers.  The old hotel register contains 
names such as Mark Twain, Horatio Alger, Ulysses S. Grant, and 
Charles Bolton, a.k.a. Black Bart.

Avery is a picturesque moment on Scenic Hwy. 4, just eight miles 
east of Murphys Wine Country and twenty-six miles west of great 
downhill and cross country skiing at Bear Valley.

The Historic Avery Hotel Restaurant & Saloon built in 1853 is the 
oldest operating hotel in Calaveras County.  It is known as 
the “Half Way House” because of its location between the gold field 
of Murphys and the giant Sequoia groves now known as Calaveras Big 
Trees State Park.

Dorrington is located 20 miles east of Murphys and 20 miles west of 
Bear Valley.  It was a place to spend the night on your way through.

The Dorrington Hotel & Restaurant was built in 1860 and was a stage 
coach stop on the Big Trees-Carson Valley Toll Road, a depot for 
guests visiting the giant Sequoia redwoods at Calaveras Big Trees 
State Park.

The second largest Sugar Pine in the world, measuring 32 feet in 
circumference and 220 feet tall still watches over travelers.

Sonora, named from Sonoran miners who settled the City in 1848 
became known as the “Queen of the Southern Mines.” 

Sonora still holds on to its historical charm with many of its 
existing buildings dating back to the 1800’s. In fact, a walk along 
just about any street in the City is to reminisce with days gone by, 
a brick or stone building, a slate wall, an iron shutter or fence, 
or a historic home nestled in an old-fashioned garden.

The great California gold rush began on March 27, 1850 by a small 
party of prospectors. News of the discovery spread and they were 
soon joined by a flood of miners.  Unlike many settlements that have 
changed with the times, Columbia, California seems to be frozen in 
the 1800's.

Today, the Columbia State Historic Park is the best preserved of 
California gold rush towns.  Columbia State Historic Park offers a 
unique blend of museums, displays, town tours, live theater plays, 
shops, restaurants and attractions. 

Within less than 2 hours you can find the Black Oak Casino in 
Tuolumne or the Jackson Rancheria Casino in Jackson.
