Set amidst densely forested landscapes, Groveland, previously part of Groveland-Big Oak Flat, is a small but charming census-designated place in the Tuolumne County of California. Travellers to this quaint destination can meander along its scenic streets, sample the delicious local cuisine, and admire the gold rush-era buildings. A major drawcard of Groveland includes the Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum, a wonderfully informative space that tells the story of the local Native American’s and pioneers who settled in the area. This lovely little hamlet is the ideal base for enjoying the excellent hiking, climbing, cycling and trekking opportunities of the awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park and the enchanting Stanislaus National Forest.
