Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
💡Tip: The Logging Museum has limited hours, but the outdoor exhibit is always open to the public and a great way to enhance your day at the lake. If you are coming to Calaveras around Labor Day, don’t miss the classic Sierra Nevada Logging Jamboree!
Hike Calaveras Big Trees State Park
There is nothing like standing before the largest trees in the world, particularly Calaveras’ groves of Giant Sequoias, where these living fossils were brought to international attention. In 1852, a miner chasing an injured bear deep into the forest found a 300-feet-tall tree with a base 83-feet around. He started telling everyone about it, and people from around the world clamored to see the giants. As a result, the state park’s North Grove is considered to be California’s longest-running tourist attraction. For even more sequoias (over 1,000!), take the 5-mile trail into the serene and dense South Grove.
