Exploring Calaveras County

Join MAX SF Community Partner East Bay Network (EBN) and embark on a weekend trip to the Gold Country.

Under the gently rolling hills of Calaveras County, protected from the summer sun and wintery blasts, are hundreds of limestone caverns. 

Get away from the city for a couple of days and discover these breathtaking underground treasures.  We will visit at least one limestone cavern, Mercer Caverns or Moaning Caverns. 

We may also take a trip to the Calaveras Big Trees State Park.  Here is where you can stand next to pristine groves of giant sequoias.

We will also be visiting the historic Gold Rush era town of Murphys, tasting award-winning wines, and visiting eclectic art galleries, antique ships, museums and restaurants, many housed in buildings over 150 years old.

Everyone is asked to make their own lodging arrangements.  EBN recommends the Travelodge in Angel’s Camp, where they have enjoyed our stay before.  Other lodging options are also available in Angel’s Camp and in Murphys. 

Pertinent information will be sent to each participant approximately one week before the trip.
