Exploring Gold Country
California is pictured the world over as a place of Disneyland, surfers, protests, big urban cities, suburban sprawl, Silicon Valley, San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, and the birthplace of hippies and acid-rock music. Many visitors are surprised to discover that most of California is located outside the main centers and is largely known for farming, recreation, and the mountain lifestyle. The famous Gold Rush took place, not in the urban centers, but in the mountains to the east.
