Great hike today with Chloe. Drove up through Auburn on Highway 49 today, about 5 miles out of the city to reach the confluence area where Highway 49 and Old Forrest Hill road meet. If you stay left on the split and continue on Old Forrest Hill Road, after you cross the bridge, the trail head is immediately to the left, with parking on both sides. The hike is great, is flat for a bit and then starts an incline up the hill. The views of the American River are beautiful, and it follows the trail on the left hand side as you ascend. I walked for about 1/2 hour out, but it got too dang hot to continue up to the lake. If you walk across the bridge when you are done, there is a great little path down to a nice area for a picnic, or for your dog to get wet!!
