Amador County is a scenic area with a
rich Gold Rush history. You’ll thoroughly enjoy the historic Gold
Rush towns of Jackson, Sutter Creek and Amador City which are still
flourishing today.
The county boasts many museums, galleries, antique shops and historical
sites as well as Indian Grinding Rock State Historical Park and Cultural
Center and a wide range of outdoor recreational activities for all
seasons including Kirkwood Ski Area.
One of Amador’s attractions is Daffodil Hill, which virtually explodes
with thousands of blossoms from mid-March through mid-April, drawing
visitors from around the world; or visit the historical Kennedy and
Sutter Gold Mines as well as the natural Landmark Black Chasm Caverns,
all boasting adventure tours all year round. Follow the original Emigrant
Trail along Highway 88, the most scenic road in America, and see visitor
stage stops and mining towns. Tour and sample wines from more than
20 award winning wineries nestled along the foothills, and see for
yourself why these wines receive world wide acclaim.
