On Friday February 11, 2022 Marshal Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma will dedicate a new hiking named the “Gam Saan Trail”. The ribbon cutting ceremony and light lunch will take place at 11:00 am at Henningsen-Lotus Park. The name of the trail takes its inspiration from the Cantonese words “Gam Saan” which translates into “Gold Mountain” a term used to refer to America during the 19th century gold rush. The event is hosted by California State Parks, El Dorado County Parks, Chinese American Council of Scramento, Chinese Benevolent Association of Stockton, Gold Discovery Park Association, and The Locke Foundation.
