Heading east, Lake Tahoe provides wonderful alpine slopes, where you'll find world-class snow skiing and some of the most stunning scenery in the world. To the southeast the roads lead you into the gold country, where the little gold-rush towns of Jackson, Sutter Creek, and Angels Camp are defined by historic hotels, gorgeous Victorian homes that cling to cliffsides, and museums that display the area's fascinating history. The roads north into the Sacramento Valley lead you to wildlife refuges providing opportunities to view great flocks of migrating swans and snow geese. You can even head to the San Francisco Bay Area, to Oakland, Berkeley, Marin County, or San Francisco itself.
