What Makes the Divide So Special?

🌄 Historic “Divide” Location
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, the Georgetown Divide sits between the Middle and South Forks of the American River, forming a unique ridge that defines this scenic Gold Country region. You maye have seen it in Tom Cruis'e infamouse fight scenes in the movie Top Gun: Maverick (2022). It boasts countless outdoor recretation opportunities and must see views!
