4 Day itinerary to explore Tuolumne County during the winter months
​Planing a family vacation, specially during the holidays is not easy. After a lot of research and help form Toulumne County, we put together an awesome trip during Thanksgiving and I have to share the itinerary with you, because if you are ever in the area, you want to get the most of your days there.
Always check weather conditions when visiting the area to make sure you don't need snow chains for your car and also if there is going to be rain. You can always move the days around depending on the weather.

Day 1

Begin your day by exploring ​ Columbia State Historic Park just north of Sonora. Take a quick trip back to Gold Rush Days. You can  take a step back in time in this charming living history town.  Take a ride on the stagecoach, go gold panning or just walk around en enjoy some antique shopping.

Next, continue your day by beating the cold staying inside doors and having fun at Black Oak Casino Resort, ​where adults can gamble and kids can have fun at the arcade. They also have a recently renewed bowling area. If it is raining or cold, staying inside having fun is always nice.
