The route depended on where people were starting from, but once they got to San Francisco they would go up the Sacramento River to Sacramento and then overland to above Sacramento to pan for gold in the Merced and upper rivers. Towns built up as mining camps filled with men seeking gold, whiskey,and women. It was a rough life, dirty, and many died. Native Americans were impacted by the influx of miners, Hispanic miners were discriminated against and taxed for living in the mining towns or claims jumped, and Black or Asians were also discriminated against. Today many of the original towns still exist and the state of California has a gold rush town as an historical site you can visit for free. There are stores, a museum, gold panning lessons, restaurants, a jail, and other buildings.
