- Mint Canyon

Many old alignments of Sierra Highway can be found here. They were bypassed in 1934 when large sections of this highway were realigned. As this highway was bypassed in 1963, few businesses remain along this route. The old Oaks Cafe is now Le Chene - a French restaurant. It was used in the movie "Duel".
