Calaveras and Alpine Counties - From east of Arnold to State Route 89.
This route traverses through forests of aspen, cedar,
pine, fir, and tamarack; across high mountain meadows; around glacial lakes;
and along mountain streams as it winds its scenic way above the canyon of the
North Fork of the Stanislaus River, over Pacific Crest Summit, down into Hermit
Valley to cross the Mokelumne River, rising again to go over Ebbetts Pass, dropping,
finally, down along Silver Creek and the East Fork of the Carson River.
Except for several miles near the beginning, which are within Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the route lies entirely within the Stanislaus, El Dorado, and Toiyabe National Forests.
Throughout the length of the route are a number of spectacular vistas of far-off
mountain peaks with intervening canyons plunging several thousand feet below
the highway.
