1 Hour 4K Scenic Drive Through California's Sierra Nevada Foothills: Merced to Mariposa County

Hey everyone, and welcome back to another video. Today, we will do a 1-hour scenic drive through California's Sierra Nevada Foothills from Merced to Mariposa County! We begin the drive in Merced along G Street, a city in the heart of the agricultural San Joaquin Valley that serves as the "Gateway to Yosemite" and is known for its education, culture, and business. We then continue up north towards the town of Snelling via the Snelling Road. Established in 1851, Snelling once served as the county seat of Merced County and played an important role during the gold rush era. Soon after, we join county Highway J16 as we continue along Merced Falls Road towards another historic town in the Sierras, Hornitos. Hornitos is a former mining town in Mariposa County that retains its old western charm with adobe buildings and narrow streets that transport you back in time along this scenic Sierra Nevada journey. As we near the end of our journey, we even venture off the paved roads and tackle some rugged unpaved trails leading up to Williams Peak, which offers stunning panoramic views of Yosemite Valley's Half Dome and the surrounding foothills!
