Sutter Creek Gold Country California Vacations, Escapes and Business Trips

California gold country cities are heading away from history and toward modern amenities such as Starbucks, golf resorts, wineries, and other attractions that keep the money flowing like the revenue that once infused a region with pure gold. Gold Country skirts the Sierra foothils and is bounded by Sacramento to the west. The cities of Gold Country range in size from the largest, Sacramento, to town with no more than a couple dozen people. While those little towns don't offer much in hotels, they are charming to visit, and well worth a trip to the Gold Country Region. Comprised of cities Auburn, Placerville, Jamestown, Copperopolis, Jackson, Angels Camp, Murphys, Sonora, Roseville, Loomis, Lincoln and more, the rapidly growing region is one of the fastest growing are in the U.S.

Coffee houses, entertainment, wineries and community participation have all gone a long way to make the Gold Country user friendly to all ages. Some places such as Columbia State Historic Park are especially worthwhile for family trips to teach the kids about California history, which is part of their school cirriculum.
