We are optimistic that we can find balance in the use of these lands - including the protection of natural habitats and wildlife agricultural uses that benefit ranchers, our local economy, and forest health and meeting the needs of people to get outdoors for their physical and mental health. As in nature, balance is the key to any successful community. We hope that everyone will rest assured that Placer Land Trust’s lands will always be subject to conservation goals and restrictions, including continued agricultural use and habitat protection. In line with that vision, we plan to continue grazing on the preserves for land management the trail system on our lands north of Hidden Falls will be much less dense than at Hidden Falls Regional Park and recreation on our lands will retain a “backcountry” feel. In the meantime, we will continue with our current activities (within our COVID-safety protocol) that allow the public to visit these beautiful lands- stay tuned for more guided hikes, family-friendly events, volunteer days, and more. The County estimates this will take 2-3 years to build. The County has recently been awarded more than $3M in State grant funds to build a parking lot and trailhead off Bell Road. The next step of this project will be to create public access to Placer Land Trust’s Big Hill Preserves. The public is now on the cusp of reaching that goal: access to a fabulous recreation area that will be an outstanding resource for Placer County.” One of those supporters, John Taylor, expressed his excitement about the future of this project: “Fourteen years ago, my family sold the Taylor Ranch to Placer Land Trust for the specific purpose of providing public recreational access to the property. We thank all of you who supported this project, from the original landowners who had a vision for conservation and recreation to those who recently shared their wishes with the County Supervisors.
AUBURN HIKING TRAILS HIDDEN FALLS FULL
We didn't walk the full length of the trail, but it's a fairly easy one. The trail to the waterfall was a crowded but it cleared out quite a bit once we moved past it.
Like I said last time, I highly recommend getting out there as early as possible to get good parking. Parking is usually hard to find but it seemed like the entire population of Auburn was out hiking. We hadn't been on the Mountain Quarry Trail before, so we met up in downtown Auburn and headed to the State Recreational Area to get our hike on. Our original plan was to visit Hidden Falls Park in Auburn, but when we got there, they were full. Thankfully, Sacramento didn't get rain for a week and that gave me the chance I needed to get outside.
I blinked and next thing I knew, it was the last weekend in January and I hadn't gone hiking yet. I feel like every year I try to make January the month that I go in on all these challenges and every year I'm too busy recovering from Christmas exhaustion to do any of them.
There are several trails in this park, a water fall, as well as ADA accessible trail. There are are few moderate trails in Hidden Falls Park ranging from 3.2 to 14.9 miles and from 977 to 1,000 feet above sea level. Its a pretty little canyon, with well maintained trails. Looking for a great trail in Auburn, California Hidden Falls Regional Park has great hiking trails that cover 30 miles for equestrian riders, mountain bikers, trail runners, day hikers and dog walkers. Placer Countys newest park was an old ranch and was given to the county for a park. I don't know about you, but January always feels like a throw away month for me. 243 reviews of Hidden Falls Regional Park 'This is a nice hidden gem of a park.
