Wander through Gold Rush-era downtown where historic buildings now house shops selling everything from antique mining tools to artisanal sourdough. Columbia State Historic Park lets you pan for gold alongside costumed docents who stay remarkably cheerful despite wearing wool in summer heat. The Sierra Repertory Theatre stages productions in a converted bank where the vault now stores props instead of bullion. Veterans Memorial Hall displays military artifacts with small-town pride. Take a vintage steam train ride through Sierra foothills on tracks that once transported fortune-seekers. Nearby Yosemite attracts the crowds, leaving Sonora's New Melones Lake blissfully uncrowded for fishing and boating.

8/10 Good
"This is a good place to stay when visiting the area and our second time there. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast staff is wonderful. The food is very good and plentiful. They keep everything very clean and the serving area restocked. I even heard the young man giving great tourist advice to an elderly couple. I took off one star because the room type we reserved was unavailable. The desk staff said Expedia had oversold the handicap rooms, so I guess it wasn’t the hotels fault, but it was disappointing."
