Gemini (May 21-June 21): Engage your playful senses where small mountain town charm thrives, in Tuolumne County’s High Sierra. Town hop your way around Highway 108. Start your day with a drive to Pinecrest Lake where you’ll find trails, seasonal lake recreation, and breathtaking National Forest views. Re-charge with some post-lake pizza at Mia’s in Cold Springs. Depending on the season, lace up and hit the ice skating rink at Long Barn Lodge, or try your best at the vintage and authentic Twain Harte Miniature Golf.
Cancer (June 21-July 23): Genuine fun can be found in the High Sierra of Tuolumne County. The first of many traditions awaits at Pinecrest Lake.

Alternatively, escape to a home away from home cabin stay at Sunset Inn located just minutes from Yosemite National Park.
Leo (July 23-August 23): Let your leo light shine in the historic foothills of Downtown Sonora at The Inn on Knowles Hill, where famous icons like President Herbert Hoover and Wallace Beery stayed. Built in the 1920s, this extravagant mansion has stood the test of time and captures the pure elegance of that era. Along the Downtown's main street, sip unique suds at Sonora Tap Room that showcases 20 taps that rotate beers frequently. Check it out on 2nd Saturday Night Art Night for some fun live music, or simply hang for a while enjoying their wild collection of retro board games.

The reward of reaching the “table top” is pure soul food.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Escape the everyday craze with an authentic adventure to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Take the road less traveled on a Sonora Pass drive.
