What are Some Things to Do in Sonora, California?
Sonora, California is a town established in 1848 during the early days of the California Gold Rush. It boasts an extensive history and its location is simply beautiful, as it is situated in the foothills of the Sierra Mountain chain. Sonora remains a popular tourist town, especially during the summer months because of its proximity to other fantastic places, like Yosemite National Park, and due to its own charm as a town of historical importance in California’s history. That history is not only tied to the gold rush but to several prominent American writers of that time period, like Mark Twain and Bret Harte. Both lived on the colorfully named Jackass Hill, which you can still visit, and the small nearby town of Twain Harte, located just a few miles from Sonora is a fun place to visit for lovers of literature.
