We will hike around some of the popular trails in the Hidden Falls Regional Park (details below). This is a very scenic, local, area that is very popular for hiking, biking, dog walking, horse-riding, and much more! We will stop to view the Hidden Falls and rest for a bit. On the way we will see the Seven Pools area from the top of a cliff. We will go at a slow to medium pace and try to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature early in the morning.

The seven year old Hidden Falls Regional Park, located in the foothills between Auburn and Lincoln, has been expanded from its original 221 acres to 1,200 acres. Already built during the first phase was an observation deck allowing close-up views of the 30 foot waterfall that gives the park its name, multiple-use trails, picnic areas, and fishing access.

The expansion offers new sweeping views of the Sacramento Valley to the Sutter Buttes and beyond. Two new bridge crossings connect trail users to both sides of the Coon Creek watershed. You can also enjoy more picnic areas and a second observation deck above another waterfall.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year, at no charge to visitors. Park location and trail system maps are available at the following link:

We will stop for lunch along the trail. More than a light rain cancels the hike. Dog friendly trail and children are welcomed.

Bring the 10 essentials, wear layered clothing, and good hiking boots and sandals to change to after the hike. Bring lunch, snacks, water, and carpool money.

Free parking available at the trailhead.
