Calaveras Big Trees Day Tour: Sequoias, Caves, Gold Country
Duration
12 hours
Overview
-
This a journey back in time.
We’ll visit the 3-acre Angel Camp Museum, a perfect place to start our day learning about the area’s mining history. At the museum, you can experience one of the most comprehensive collections of artifacts from the California gold rush era in the entire state.
Afterward, we’ll head over to Calaveras Big Trees State Park for a leisurely 1.5-mile walk through a forest of giant sequoia trees.
Next is a 1.5-hour stop in the old miner's town of Murphys. You have many options for lunch spots, including the historic Murphys Hotel. (Mark Twain, J.P. Morgan, and Ulysses S. Grant have stayed there!) This is your free time to roam, eat, and shop on your own.
Our last stop of the day is Mercer Caverns, where you descend into another world, one that sparkles with stalactites, stalagmites, and more. For those who can’t physically make the journey down the stairs and into the caves, don’t worry: We’ve set up wine tasting for you in Murphys to enjoy.
