    30 degrees

    The recurring theme this year for the Coloma Valley has been unpredictable and unusual weather patterns. Based on the upcoming weather forecast there will be a 30 degree temperature difference between Wednesday 15th and Wednesday the 22nd. Almost unbelievable difference, 71 degrees as the high in mid-June, we’ll take it!

    Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you’ve probably seen REI’s new campaign #optoutside The Coloma Valley embraces this wholeheartedly. Here’s an idea, pack up your gear on Friday morning and #optoutside in Coloma.

    Amgen Tour of CA is rolling through town!

    The Amgen Tour of CA bike race will be rolling through town this Sunday May 11th. While we are thrilled to have them race through our neck of the woods, there will be some road closures and delays between Auburn, Cool and Salmon Falls Road that may effect your Mother’s Day routes.
