Placer County contains 1,500 square miles, about 100 of that being of water, since it includes a portion of the west shore of Tahoe. It’s best explored west to east, with the trip starting in Roseville and the other commuter communities of Sacramento. Then the county shows off its best aspects as one heads straight up into the Sierra.
It’s named after placer mining—that’s one way of getting the gold out of the hills, digging into the riverbed for it and sifting the stones. Millions of dollars of gold were extracted here. But now vacationers and agriculture bring in the money—and there are plenty of places where both tourists and locals can go to learn more about local history.
