One of your first stops should be Portola Visitors Center. Here, you'll be able to orient yourself and pick up some great ideas before you set out exploring.
This tourist information center is often on the itineraries of visitors to Portola. But Portola Visitor's Center isn't the only drawcard in the area. Dragon Golf Course at Nakoma Resort, Grizzly Ranch Golf Club, and High Sierra Books are some other interesting sights close by.
