Visit Downtown Sonora T he streets of historic downtown Sonora are lined up one side and down the other with antique stores, boutiques, galleries and wonderful places to eat.
W ashington Street shown in the above three photos is just one short block from Bradford Place and is Sonora's main artery. It is a favorite for late night window shopping after dining in a restored restaurant or exquisite old hotel. The old Sonora jail shown above houses the Tuolumne County Museum and Historical Society. It is located one block west of Bradford Place. You will also want to visit the Columbia State Park Museum, Tuolumne City Museum and in Sonora, the Military Museum, one of the best in northern California. |
Just A Suggestion! "A Three Day Itinerary" Day One Sonora, Columbia and Jamestown Explore Sonora, Columbia State Historic Park, and Railtown State Park in Jamestown. These villages have many antique stores just waiting for you! Lunch in Sonora at El Jardin, The Back Street Grill, or The Diamondback. Dine at Bannys in Sonora or the posh City Hotel in Columbia. In Jamestown we highly recommend The National Hotel and Solomon's Landing.
Day Two Explore these quaint mountain villages, snow play at Leland Meadows, ski at Dodge Ridge, or do some hiking around the lake. Lunch at The Steam Donkey in Pinecrest. Dine at the awesome Eproson House or Villa D' Oro (both in Twain Harte) before heading back to your warm, comfy nest at Bradford Place.
Day Three Tour Mercer Caves or nearby Moaning Caverns (a 3 hour extreme trip is also offered at Moaning), visit 15 or more wineries near Murphys and see up close a 44 pound gold nugget on display at Ironstone Winery. Shop the boutiques and art galleries in Murphys and the antique stores in Angels Camp. Or you can visit the New Melones Lake Visitor Center and enjoy one of the many nature trails around the lake. Lunch in Murphys at Murphys Grille. In Angels Camp we highly recommend dining at Crusco's for gourmet Italian faire or the upscale Camps at Greenhorn Creek Golf Estates. And For A Bonus Day! What say? You just can't go home? Then you simply must visit Yosemite National Park or Calaveras Big Trees State Park, play one of our championship golf courses, or shop for real estate in the Sierra foothills -- it's always a favorite past time!
