Mariposa Travel Guide
Plan a vacation to wonderful Mariposa CA! This historic California town is full of adventures, outdoor activities, and landmarks. The town was settled in 1849 and got its name from the migrating monarch butterflies seen by the settlers. The town’s structure still follows the original street outlines which were designed in 1850, and many of the old buildings in the historic downtown are still standing. All of these buildings are still in use so they are all nicely taken care of and restored. This is also the southernmost town of all the gold rush cities and it has great access to Yosemite National Park. All of these great features make the town of Mariposa an excellent vacation destination!

Yosemite National Park is a great place to spend quality time outside. The park not only features amazing trails for hiking and breathtaking views, but visitors can also get up close and personal with the waterfalls and the granite cliffs too. Since the national park is gigantic, visitors need multiple days (and some good hiking shoes) to explore everything. Make sure to see Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, El Capitan, and the many beautiful waterfalls as they are all amazing highlights of the park. Do not forget to see the giant sequoia trees also!
The Mariposa Museum and History Center reflects on the history of the town and how the gold rush played such a pivotal role in the city's development. Additionally, the California State Mining and Mineral Museum also reflects on the gold rush and the minerals available in California.
