Las Vegas Nevada
This is a small boutique winery in the El Dorado County, California area, which is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California. You can taste many different varieties of wine, enjoy a picnic on the grassy grounds while taking in the majestic view of the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains.
This charming little restaurant, located in the heart of Grass Valley, CA, claims to be "voted best lunch restaurant in Nevada County." We haven't eaten at many restaurants in Nevada County, but I would not challenge their claim. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly but not obtrusive.
We were there for lunch (they also serve dinner) and my husband had the Ortega Chile Hamburger and I had Grilled Turkey with melted Jack cheese on top of marinated artichoke hearts.
The mist rises off Taylor Creek in the early morning. This creek leads to Lake Tahoe and is the spawing creek for Kokanee Salmon.
Echo Lakes, California, is located off Highway 50 between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe. There are two small alpine lakes in the High Sierra Nevada Mountains at about the 7,000 feet above sea level.
Placerville, California part of the old gold mining district in Placer County. Placerville was also once known as "Hang Town" and has an effigy to that effect in the middle of the downtown area near all the antique shops.
