Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
Go Deep in Moaning Caverns
As a kid, we always went to Calaveras’ Mercer Caverns and never realized that just seven miles down the road is California’s largest single cave chamber! Getting down to see Moaning Caverns is half the fun, starting with a ladder and ending in a 100-foot-tall spiral staircase made from a WWI ship!
Miners abandoned the cave when gold didn’t pan out, but tourism entrepreneurs saw its potential and reopened it in 1920 as a show cave to appreciate its striking formations. Take the classic hour-long tour or embark on a half-day hardhat expedition, complete with rope descents and belly crawls.
