The Great Outdoors

A trail called Shadow of the Mi-Wok is a short ¼ mile walk with outdoor historical exhibits on the lives of the Natives once primarily populating the area. For a longer hike that also has historical plaques to read along the way, the West Side Trail is ten miles total, there and back. Should your group include seniors or children, a fun and convenient way to hike is with llamas who carry your heavy packs for you. Potato Ranch Llama Packers gives a training lesson followed by llama rentals for the duration of your hike.

There’s a blacksmith’s shop where you can take a blacksmithing class, a wooden bowling alley where you can bowl for free, a chemist’s shop, and so much more.
