Sights Overview
The Gold Country is a largely laid-back and low-tech destination for those seeking to escape glitzy Southern California and the Bay Area. Sacramento, Davis, and Woodland are in an enormous valley bordered to the east by the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Foothill communities Nevada City, Placerville, and Sutter Creek were products of the gold rush.
Visiting Old Sacramento's museums is a good way to immerse yourself in history, but the Gold Country's heart lies along Highway 49, which winds the 325-mi north-south length of the historic mining area. The highway, often a twisting, hilly, two-lane road, begs for a convertible with the top down.
