DescriptionThis is a beautiful out and back hike through diverse terrain on the "Pioneer Express" trail along the North Fork of the American River.
We start this hike in Loomis at Folsom Lake and head up into the Sierra Nevada foothills towards the Historical Gold Mining town of Auburn. Starting at 600 feet elevation we follow the single track trail through large shady oak trees and make our way up to 1,100 feet.
Throughout the hike, we’ll stop for plenty of beautiful Folsom Lake views and you’ll even have time for a swim if the weather is warm. We’ll traverse a rich range of foothill scenery, including rolling oak savanna, chaparral, and river canyon.
Your private guide looks forward to exploring this beautiful landscape with you and giving insight to the region’s rich history.AvailabilityYear-round, February through Mid May are best for wild flowers.LocationSacramento, CADurationFull DayEssential Information7.0 mile out and back hike, moderate.
