The High Sierra or Sierra Nevada mountains are vast, tall and full of American history.
Fortunes were made on its gold and silver. Cities such as Sacramento were built on that wealth while some towns faded back into the wilderness as their mines dried up.
Get into this gold-rush spirit as you go through tiny Downieville or Sierra City along the Yuba River– Could that sparkle on the side of the road be a nugget?
Then pedal over the high country on Gold Lake Hwy. & range the plateau on Rt. 49/89. After absorbing pleasant autumn colors around Donner Lake you’ll conquer infamously steep Donner Pass. Finally Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe will sooth your soul with its timeless beauty... if you can complete the significant climb up! An awesome 60 minutes.
