El Dorado Transit will once again operate the free Apple Hill Shuttle, every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm, Oct. 3-25.

For the second consecutive year, shuttle parking will be available at a second parking lot in Camino. Free shuttle parking will be offered at Schnell School in Placerville and the U.S. Forest Services Placerville Ranger Station, just off Highway 50, on Eight Mile Road in Camino.

The Apple Hill Shuttle is the ideal way to visit some of El Dorado County’s most popular orchards, ranches, wineries and family attractions, during the peak of the harvest season, without the headaches of traffic and parking. Visitors get on and off the shuttles as many times as they like at any of 29 designated shuttle stops throughout Apple Hill.

El Dorado Transit will operate five buses and a trolley on a continuous loop, every 15-20 minutes from two satellite parking lots just off Highway 50 in Placerville and Camino. Schnell School is located at 2871 Schnell School Road, 0.1 miles north of Highway 50. The Placerville Ranger Station is located just south of Highay 50 in Camino at 4260 Eight Mile Road.
