Total distance: 8.4 miles
Elevation gain: 1800'
Trail description: a mix of paved and gravel roads, and rocky trails. It is mostly exposed.

Let's work off that turkey and other indulgences with a good workout. This hike is also good for building endurance for tougher climbs. This is a **moderately challenging** hike, and hence an excellent workout due to the cumulative climbing. We will be on a loop visiting 3 of the prettiest beaches along the American River and then climb **Cardiac Hill**. We will depart promptly from the Maidu gate at 8:02 AM. First 2 miles is an easy downhill walk to our first (no-name) beach. We then hike to Birdsall Beach, going south, and then Oregon Bar. We take a break at Oregon Bar. Our finale is a 1-mile climb of 800' up Cardiac Hill. You will thank me for your elevated heart rate, increased blood flow to your brain and possibly endorphins. It is a relaxing return on a flat dirt trail while we enjoy the surrounding expansive meadows.

**\*\*** Since our group size is small, please only sign up if ***you truly intend to come***. The vengeful hiking gods are not kind to **no-shows** and **late cancellations.**

**Things to know:**
\* There is free street parking on Maidu Drive and a fee lot (free with Poppy pass) next to the ranger station.
\* There are restrooms and portable toilets along the trail.
