Gold Country near Yosemite

On the road to Yosemite, Tuolumne and Mariposa counties are rich in Gold Rush history. Sonora, Jamestown and Columbia State Historic Park preserve the era's character, while Mariposa sits on a classic route toward the national park.

A small number of family wineries and tasting rooms add a relaxed stop to a mountain journey.
