Just what it says on the sign. Historic general store with convenience items, but also a wine/beer bar, espresso, free wifi, local souvenirs, and helpful staff for anything you need to know about what's happening in the area.

The best preserved original gold mining town in California. Many original buildings and examples of authentic mining equipment, cute shops, a functioning blacksmith who you can watch work (or purchase a freshly-made metal item), ice cream, restaurants and bars, and you can even pan for gold. A SUPER family day of history, excitement, learning and playing. Something for every member of the family, and an important part of our western story.

Outdoor recreation
The best family-friendly ski resort in the Sierra, and you don't have to drive to Tahoe. Lower prices, smaller crowds, more fun!

A great way to spend the day. During the summer it's a great place to swim or fish. Fall and Spring offer excellent and beautiful hiking trails around the lake.

Such a dramatic and beautiful setting for a picnic or a day of swimming. The water is basically melted mountain snow, so it is refreshingly chilly on a hot day. The water can move pretty fast, so it's better for experienced swimmers ... but probably not a great swimming spot for small kids.

The museum is a fun trip for kids, and you can park here and enter the Arnold Rim Trail ... a beautiful walk through the forest for as long or short as you want to go. The first 3/4 of a mile are paved, and after that it's a well-groomed trail.
