Day 1 - Bear Valley to Jackson
Sunday has granite outcroppings, lush meadows, very tall pine trees, smooth pavement, and upper Gold Country byways and vistas seldom seen by the tourist crowds. After the challenge of Sheep Ranch Rd, we'll take a new route north through Railroad Flat, and avoid the steep pitches of Jesus Maria Rd. The Hwy. 26 descent will be a much more pleasant route into the historic Mokelumne Hill. Although the elevation at Jackson is more than 5,000 feet below Bear Valley, you will still be climbing over 5,500 feet during the day, which means the total descending will be over 10,500 feet! |
