The town just east of us. It is very quaint. You can walk over the river on the cute covered bridge that is the largest covered bridge west of the Mississippi. There is an old jail, broken down brick buildings from the 1800's gold rush era. The building housed a power station and the mill . The town has an ice cream shop. An old bar and grocery store which is the oldest operating grocery store. The grocery store was built in 1849. There is also a restaurant called the River's Edge. A pretty place to eat overlooking the water. There is usually live country music on Friday. The food is good but the service really varies.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful wide variety of formations including stalactites, stalagmites, flow-stones and the vast arrays of rare helictite crystals. Gemstone mining at the water flumes. Probably the least crowded and nicest of the caves and caverns. Although all them are good.

A park that is set up like the original gold town in the mid 1800's. You can pan for gold, make a candle, watch a blacksmith, or just eat some treats.

You can get there in an hour and take the bus to see all the falls. You can walk as little or as much as you want. You won't find a more awe inspiring spot than when you begin to enter the Valley through the tunnel in your car and see Half Dome. A MUST SEE.
