From Folsom Lake SRA administration: Making plans for Memorial Day weekend? How about you take a hike with us?
Led by Horacio Porath, Interpretive Senior Park Aide, this hike along the South Fork of the American River will cover 3.5 miles, or 5 miles depending on how long you would like to go. The trail will lead us through beautiful Oak woodlands, an experimental grove of higher elevation evergreens, beautiful vistas, and great views of the river. We will stop and admire any interesting plants and animals we find along the way, but this hike will overall not be slow-paced.
Expect this to be a moderately difficult hike, mostly flat with a few ups and downs. The trail is unpaved and there are some sections of uneven and rocky ground. There will be a mix of full sun and shade throughout the journey.
• Parking & Meeting location: Monte Vista Trailhead, in the large Falcons Crest Ln. parking area at the intersection of Salmon Falls Rd and Old Salmon Falls Rd. Parking is free in the Falcon’s Crest lot.
• Length of hike in miles: ~3 miles
• Recommended minimum age for children: 7 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
• Preparation: Please be prepared for hiking by bringing water, snacks/ a lunch, closed toed shoes with treads (like a hiking shoe), and sun protection (sunscreen, hat). Binoculars and cameras are encouraged but not required.
For RSVP, questions, or concerns, please contact Horacio by email [email protected], or call 916-856-8952.
