Out of all the byways that traverse the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, this one is the most wild and rugged. For 61 miles, you will travel through small towns, tree-lined valleys, and dormant volcanic peaks as you ascend to nearly 9,000-feet in elevation. Popular stopovers include the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum, Calaveras Big Tree State Park, and the Bear Valley Ski Resort. If you are visiting in summer, you can also cool off at one of the many lakes and reservoirs by going swimming, kayaking, or fishing. This route also provides easy access to two other major sites in the area Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park.
