Experience El Dorado!

Tahoe. You might head there for camp outs or skiing in the winter. Or maybe you just imagine a crowded Interstate 80 on a Friday afternoon with campers headed to the well-known Northern California destination. Either way, you might not know Tahoe as well as you think.

Experience El Dorado, a half-hour monthly magazine show focused on in-depth looks at California’s Hill country, will give viewers a fresh take on the popular getaway. El Dorado field guide Cory Tapia will attempt to catch a mega-Mackinaw trout and learn the Tahoe Two Step at the sixth annual Telegrass Festival with bluegrass music and telemark skiing, known as free heel skiing.

In the Tahoe wilderness, Tapia and his daughter will go geocaching, hunting for an object using GPS coordinates posted on a Web site. Executive Producer Todd Stanley says, "Cory travels all over Northern California with a crew of experienced filmmakers who capture his raw reactions to new places and unique adventures. He'll crack you up."

Perry King, the show’s host, is a native of the hill country and resides in Cool. Besides knowing the region inside and out, he is a screen veteran who’s been in television for more than 40 years.

“El Dorado County just has so much to offer in terms of climate, cultural amenities, scenery and recreation opportunities. It’s a great place to live, work and play,” King says.

The episode will air on NEWS10 Sunday, August 2 at 5 p.m.

Stanley won an Emmy in 2008 for his camerawork and storytelling on Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch.

Episode one explored the El Dorado’s Gold Country, followed a motorcycle club, and looked at some of the best local wines.
