Alpine County, California
Alpine County is where California’s Sierra Nevada really shines. As the smallest county in the state by population, it’s more of a wilderness retreat than a busy hub.
Markleeville, the county seat, is about as laid-back as it gets. You won’t find any traffic lights here, just wide-open spaces and clear mountain air.
Drive along Highway 4 or 89 and you’ll pass through its rugged terrain. They joke that there are more bears than people in Alpine County. So if you visit, bring your bear spray and a good book. The cell service is spotty at best.

Hi Carol. Unfortunately, we haven’t created that one at this point. It’s something we’ll consider doing in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!
