The area

Arnold is a quiet mountain town in the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada, at the edge of the Stanislaus National Forest. Clear skies at 5,200 ft make for great stargazing, and deer often pass through.

  • Downtown Arnold, a short drive
  • Calaveras Big Trees State Park
  • Historic Murphys, with its wineries and restaurants
  • Bear Valley ski resort
  • Sonora
