In December enjoy great vistas and perfect trail conditions. Note: The leash law is strictly enforced here. Hikers risk being ticketed if dogs are observed off leash.

Studebaker O riginally a blacksmith from South Bend, Indiana, a young John M. Studebaker came to Placerville (formerly known as Old Hangtown), California hoping to strike it rich. Like so many others of the time he soon learned that gold was scarce by that time and volunteered to help a local blacksmith make wheelbarrows for the miners for $10 each. Having never made a wheelbarrow before, cumbersome. But he was a quick learner and quickly became famous for his well-made wheelbarrows that “stood up”. With waiting lists for his many orders, he became known as “Wheelbarrow John.” million-dollar automobile company. He never forgot “Old Hangtown” and returned to Placerville in 1912. The town threw a three-day party to celebrate the man who helped change the transportation industry. In fact we are still celebrating the Studebaker success story with the John Studebaker International Wheelbarrow Races. Now in it’s 70th year, the event is held annually in June during El Dorado County fair in Placerville. Armed with nothing more than a wheelbarrow, a sack and a gold pan, up their sack, then push their loaded wheelbarrows through a messy, grueling obstacle course in a series of races while a grandstand full of spectators cheer them on. Yep, still got that pioneer spirit! Thanks Johnnie… 70th running of the John M. Studebaker Wheelbarrow Race Saturday, June 14, 2014 El Dorado County Visitors’ Guide & Farm Trails Maps | 23 EL DORADO COUNTY In 1858 Studebaker returned to South Bend with his savings to start his famous buggy and wagon company.

Camino was originally a lumber mill town and had a reputation as the Sugar Pine capital of logging. The mill railroad lines are no longer in use, but their gradual grades are now the domain of happy hikers who use the El Dorado Trail system from Placerville to Camino. The Pollock Pines area has a rich history that began when westward immigration brought gold seekers into this part of California via the Mormon Immigrant Trail. This colorful and unhurried route begins south of Pollock Pines and is one gateway to vast areas of the Eldorado National Forest. History also raced through this part of the county when young men on fast horses delivered the mail and news between St. Louis and San Francisco on the Pony Express. Summer fun centers around the picturesque Jenkinson Lake & Sly Park Recreation area; framed by beautiful forests and nine miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Swimming and boating are popular activities with two boat ramps and many beaches available to swimmers. The area also offers both day use and overnight camping with 191 campsites.

Today, the county has more than 2,000 acres of vines producing 50 grape varieties and home to more than 70 wineries. Each passionately tended by winemakers who love coaxing from each diverse acre its perfect harvest and each different in their winemaking approach.
