Bear Valley, Dorrington and Camp Connell comprise the Ebbett's Pass corridor. At 3,000 to 6,000 feet elevation, we experience the beauty of four very distinct seasons. Spring is a glorious show of new growth and color, summer brings warmer weather (70 to 90) which means lots of chances for hiking, boating, fishing, wine tasting and other activities, fall exhibits the change in seasons with changes showing the wonder of leaf color again, and winter weather (20 - 30) wears a blanket of snow for skiing, sledding, inner tube down a hill or building snow people. Hiking, camping and backpacking through the scenic and vast Stanislaus wilderness area is magnificent in all seasons.
Hwy. 4, Ebbett's Pass and Monitor Pass create the home of the famous "Tour of the California Alps, The Death Ride" for great road biking.
For the spelunker, explore Moaning Caverns, Mercer Caverns or Cave City anytime throughout the year.
