Great trail along the river. Starts on a wide, family friendly trail to a picnic area with historical information. From there head up to Hawver Cave and then continue along the river. Many ups and downs and several water...
The trail could not have been more beautiful today! Though the wildflowers were sparse, there were enough blooms to make lots of “oooh’s and aaah’s”. Climbs were moderate ... none were excessively steep (though there is...
I was totally blown-away by the huge scars left by the preliminary digging of the dam that was halted back in 1975. As you leave Olmstead Loop Trail and enter onto the Salt Creek Loop trail, you’ll notice you’re walking ...
This trail starts from an unmarked trailhead = driving southbound on 49, the pull-out is just past Northside Elementary School. The trail is mostly southern portions of the Olmstead Loop Trail leading to Rim Trail where ...

Today, instead of staying on Quarry Trail, we decided to take a little-used side trail at mile 0.6. It was a fun little climb but was very wet and slippery due to heavy fog. This spur doesn’t look like it gets much use d...
Knickerbocker Creek Trail This trail is one of the many interior trails of the Olmstead area in Auburn State Recreation Area. It travels through low, rolling terrain with open fields and wooded areas. It can be done eit...
Be aware: much of this trail consists of loose slippery rocks on steep grades. This hike was in January so seasonal streams & run-off create several marshy areas. The stream crossing at Knickerbocker Creek was definitel...
Hiking with my buds, Char, John D., Nanette, Annette, Djuana, Maggie, Grace, Ying Ying, Me and Willow!
I failed to start recording this hike at the beginning so please add 1.3 miles for a total of a 9.8 mile hike. You will reach the WTR Loop at approx mile 3.3 from the start of Quarry Trail. Please be honest with yours...
Fun trail with some off-trail hiking to Turtle Pond and some Indian grinding rocks. I forgot to stop Wikiloc so 3.6 miles of this hike was really me driving away! My friend & I needed to check out the trail for mud & dow...
This hike’s purpose was to approach Training Hill from the back for a peek-a-boo plus marvel at the incredible rocks on Pointed Rocks Ranch. Trails taken on this recording were: 1) Olmsted Loop, 2) Wendell T Robie & 3) K...
Old rails-to-trails the whole way ... very wide & well-groomed. Many seasonal waterfalls today. Log stools next to a waterfall was a nice lunch spot at our 3.5 mile turn-around point.
Mostly wide rail-to-trail path along the middle fork of the American River. Historical information at 1.25 miles, also passes Hawver Cave.
We took the trail counter-clockwise. At this time of year, the trail was very muddy & rutted. A few streams to cross and several mud ponds that you can walk around. The trail is moderate for the two steep climbs around t...
At Mile 4.6-ish, there is a small trail that leads down to a bluff overlooking the river. There are many rocks to sit on and space to hang out. Great place to eat lunch.
Great family trail. Good to simply walk out 1.4 miles to the picnic area and information boards then turn-around if that’s all ya got time for. Otherwise, continuing down the trail often has interesting seasonal waterfal...
Very nice, easy trail. Great views and lots of wildflowers. We walked clockwise on this trail, starting behind American River Pizza....ending in the parking lot.
North Olmstead to Salt creek Trail The only a curate recording is the return loop. Took North Olmstead loop to Salt Creek trail. Total Mileage was 9 miles.
Beautiful loop hike from Cool to Quarry Trail, across and up training hill, then back to Cool via Olmsted
The Olmstead Loop Trail is about 9 miles long. Taking the Knickerbocker Trail shortens the distance to slightly more than 7 miles. It's best to wear long pants as there a prickly plants on the Knickerbocker Trail.
