On your next visit to El Dorado, make sure you don’t miss out on certain “must do” activities. The place is
home to significant cultural history and a plethora of outdoor activities,
which include: hiking, rafting, gold panning, and biking. The county is also
known for its local wineries, which can be seen by attending fair play wineries events
that are happening from time to time. If you have a few days to visit this
beautiful place, here what you definitely shouldn’t miss out on:
Go for Gold Panning
El Dorado County is not just filled with breathtaking mountains,
forests, and rivers; there are also ancient stream beds of gold along the
Highway 49 corridor. The Mother Lode is approximately one to four miles wide
and 120 miles long and stretched from Georgetown through Amador, Calaveras, and
Tuolumne counties and then south to Mormon Bar in Mariposa County, and it is
one of the best places to pan gold. There are also other places to pan gold
such as the Pi-Pi campground, Gold Bug Park & Mine, and more.
Visit Vineyards and Wineries
If you aren’t
really into the gold rush, wine tasting is another activity linked in El Dorado
County. The county name also means “the golden One”. It
all started when locals figured that they could make more money by selling wine
to miners. Rather than panning gold themselves, these industrious individuals decided
to plant vines, which led to the popularity of wine. Today, you’ll find many vineyards
and wineries where you can spend a day walking and tasting delicious wines.
Enjoy Hiking
There are many hills and trails where you can enjoy hiking with
your friends and family. You can visit The Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park
which is one of the best places in El Dorado. Home to twelve miles of hiking
trails, the park also has options for ever skill level. You can take a stroll
in the shade of beautiful trees or conquer more challenging routes.
So, what are you waiting for? Get your backpack ready, and go
for a fun trip to El Dorado where you can enjoy hiking, gold panning, attending
fair play wineries events, and more.
