Area Attractions are almost endless!
See magnificent pine, cedar & oak forests, rushing mountain streams, and wildlife in its natural setting. This area of the Sierra is ideal for boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, or just relaxing. In winter, snow sports are nearby at popular ski areas and sno-parks.
California Gold Rush history permeates the area, Pollock Pines was the only overnight stop for the Pony Express, and the Mormon Emigrant Trail passed right through.
Our 4,000' elevation provides four distinct seasons for just the right amount of variety throughout the year. Fresh air and clear skies are the rule.
