Mariposa County is home to some of California’s most historic and scenic roads, many of which date back to the Gold Rush era. These routes are more than just pathways through the stunning Sierra Foothills; they are corridors of history, connecting you with the stories of early settlers, miners, and adventurers who shaped this region. At Yosemite E-Biking, we invite you to explore these roads in a way that’s both thrilling and accessible—on a guided electric bike tour.
The Historic Charm of Mariposa’s Roads
Mariposa’s roads have witnessed over a century of history. In the late 19th century, routes like the Raymond-Mariposa road were essential for connecting remote communities, and debates over their construction were common in local newspapers.
Fast forward to the early 20th century, and the Cathey Valley route became a focal point for highway planning, with its shorter, more efficient path being favored for development. Today, these historic roads are preserved not just as functional routes, but as living links to California’s storied past.
