Local know-how
Rural El Dorado County
Shingle Springs is spread out: a small village near US-50 and many homes on ranch land and long gravel driveways in the hills around it.
App-based rides can be hard to find out here, especially before dawn, which is when many SMF flights leave. A booked ride is already on its way.
Visitors heading to Shingle Springs — including guests of the Red Hawk casino and resort — can be met at SMF and driven up US-50.
