What we’re about
This is a group for hiking all around El Dorado county. Both locals and non-locals welcome. Varied days/times, varied lengths and difficulties -- from casual walks to mountains. Varied locations too, but usually on the western slope. Hikes are usually posted a few days to a week before they happen. Pick the events that work for your schedule/interest.
The hikes are free, with free parking as well, except when otherwise noted.
Rules: Dogs are welcome on trails that allow them if on a leash at all times, well-behaved, kept a distance from anyone who may have an allergy or fear of dogs, and you scoop up after them. Sometimes the event description will tell you that a trail forbids dogs, but if it doesn't, it's still your responsibility to make sure they're allowed.

See all- Cedar Park to Fleming MeadowCedar Park Trail, Pollock Pines, CA
Starting from Cedar Park Trail (pictured, but won't have snow) we'll hike 7-10 miles into the Fleming Meadow trail system. The parking lot is along Sly Park Road, enter "Cedar Park Trail" in google maps to find it or look for the sign. It's a small lot, but you should be able to park along the street if it fills. There's also a dirt parking area about half a mile west.
The trail takes us through forest (and some burn scar) above Camp Creek, past an ancient car wreck and the Jenkinson Lake spillway (not currently spilling). Hopefully will still have some fall colors at the Fleming end.
