Short Place

Built around a roadside setting on the U.S. Route 50 corridor, Short Place remains a small Sierra Nevada locality in El Dorado County. Near the South Fork American River, it lies in the broader Eldorado National Forest country, where conifer forest and granite terrain mark the climb toward the high Sierra. Route 50 is a principal trans-Sierra road between the Sacramento Valley and the Lake Tahoe area, and much of its course follows the early-20th-century Lincoln Highway corridor. Seasonal weather can strongly affect travel, particularly in the higher pass country to the east.
