Day 4: Alpine Lake Campground to Santa Cruz, CA
Mileage: 289 miles
Sarah: We woke up early and headed home. As we headed west it became incredibly hot! The 49 south of Sonora was amazing! The road was incredibly smooth and windy. We had an excellent time before stopping for lunch in Mariposa and heading west on the not so exciting roads back home. But, we managed to stop at the Glory Hole Center… which made the entire trip worth it! Not really, but we couldn’t believe that this place was called Glory Hole. Plus, the trip wouldn’t be complete without stopping at the Mother Load.
