Arnold (pop: 4200) opened in 1927 as the Ebbetts Pass Inn that served as a stop for people traveling along the Ebbetts Pass route as well as lodging for those visiting nearby Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Previously the town consisted of just two logging ranches. In 1928, Camp Wolfeboro was established nearby as a Boy Scout camp and continues to be in operation today. Nearby activities include golf, skiing, whitewater rafting, boating, fishing, horseback riding and hiking. Take a short drive to the Moaning Caverns and Mercer Caverns, both offering guided tours and gold panning. Other nearby attractions include Angels Camp Museum, Columbia State Historic Park, Calaveras Big Trees State Park and the Bear Valley Ski Resort. Exciting high adventure opportunities for exploring, boating, camping, hiking, watersports, weekend retreats and more.
Arnold is part of California Gold Country (also Mother Lode Country), made famour for the mineral deposits and gold mines that attracted waves of immigrants, known as the 49ers, during the 1849 California Gold Rush.

Calaveras became a State Park in 1931 to preserve the large groves of giant sequoias redwood trees, the largest living thing in the world. If you want to see the big trees, but skip the big crowds of Yosemite, then this is your place. The high altitude and close proximity to the high sierras contributes to a mild climate here. This grove includes Discovery Tree, the first giant sierra redwood noted by Augustus T. Dowd in 1852. Since that discovery, this area has become one of California's popular tourism attractions. The Park also houses two main campgrounds, picnic areas and hundreds of miles of established trails. Popular activities include cross-country skiing, hiking, mountain biking and bird-watching.
