Hotel at a Glance: City Hotel in Columbia State Historic Park
City Hotel is a bit of a misnomer since the 19th-century hotel is actually at the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevadas and Stanislaus National Forest, there’s plenty of adventure to be found right out the hotel’s front door. It’s also surrounded by history as the hotel is part of the Columbia State Historic Park, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the gold rush.
- Period decor stuns with floral wallpaper, elegant cabriole sofas, and tall, dark-wood headboards that are intricately carved.
- On a rainy day play a board game or peruse the bookshelves in the parlor.
- Enjoy your morning coffee on the shared balcony.
- Sip local vintages while beefing up your cooking skills at the Yankee Hill Winery and Cooking School (3 min. drive away).
Columbia, California: Historical Gold-Rush Town and Gateway to Yosemite
The California Gold Rush put Columbia on the map, literally. From the 1850s to the 1870s, the mines around Columbia produced more than $87 million in gold, taking it from a swath of wilderness to a booming community. And thanks to the preservation efforts of Columbia State Historic Park, the town still looks much like it did in the gold-rush era. Cars aren’t allowed on Main Street here—you’ll have to take a stroll or catch a ride on a stagecoach. Preserved wooden storefronts house shops where you can buy cowboy boots and old-fashioned candies, pan for gold, or don period costumes to take an old-timey photo. If you’re visiting between April and October, head to nearby Railtown 1897 Historic State Park to ride a restored steam or diesel locomotive through mountains.
Columbia’s location in the Sierra Nevada foothills makes it a great home base for outdoor adventure, too. Drive about 70 minutes to reach the hiking trails and waterfalls in Yosemite National Park and about 40 minutes to walk in the shadows of giant sequoias in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Afterward, relax with a tasting at one of the area’s two dozen wineries.
