Enjoy a long downhill stroll through the Sierra Nevada Foothills and the heart of Gold Rush Country from old town Auburn to old town Sacramento. This new walkabout is ideal for the season - the American river is high, the flowers are in bloom and the spring air is not too hot, not too cold. Take a 2-4 day adventure the old fashion way, on foot, with a train ride to start and end the trip. Read more about this hike, purchase an easy to print and pack guide, or come to an upcoming event to learn more and ask questions.
