Unearth Hidden Treasures and Secret Trails on California’s Gold Country Road Trip — Your Ultimate Adventure Awaits!
💡Tip: At the Placerville Hardware store, ask to see the “Raccoon Tomb” below the floorboards for a good laugh, and keep your eye out for more Easter eggs…the owners are such jokesters!
Explore Gold Bug Mine
Right outside of downtown Placerville is a great example of Gold Country California’s “neighborhood mines” that dotted the Sierra foothills. These were claims shared by a handful of independent miners making the most of basic tools and hard labor. Get an audio guide for a cheeky narrated tour and a rare chance to walk through a mine alone. With your ticket, you can also see the working stamp mill and blacksmith, who may just make you a nail ring for a souvenir.
