Three Rivers has great Karma!

The Yokuts Indians were the first settlers in Three Rivers and pictographs and indian grinding rocks are found all around the area. Indians lived along the rivers where crystal clear water runs down the mountains out of the High Sierra's.

Three Rivers was a "utopian community" in the 1800's for a group of settlers who came to the area with hopes of making their fortune in the logging industry. Their community settled out the North Fork where the oldest and smallest, continually operating post office in America still exists as evidence of their days in Three Rivers

In the '60's Disney discovered the Mineral King area of Three Rivers and declared it the most beautiful place he had ever seen. Disney tried to develop Mineral King into a world class ski resort, but was prevented from realizing his dream in a large part because of the first major victory of the Sierra Club. Thank goodness! I cannot even imagine how different Three Rivers would be today if Disney had prevailed.

Today there are about 2500 people in Three Rivers and it is a scene of unspoiled beauty, nature preserved, spectacular changing seasons and a peaceful way of life.
