| "Our objective is to help the reader select a route for hiking, cycling or riding among those included in this volume. We provide specific directions to the trailhead and parking and what you may expect to encounter in terms of trail length (distance and time), difficulty and slope. A graphic profile of the elevation change for each trail, along with an easy to read map, allow the reader to easily orient himself or herself. .... A brief trail description is followed by a more detailed account of the notable features of each trail in terms of history, flora and other features." |  |
This great little booklet provides very thorough descriptions of 21 hiking trails in Auburn State Recreation Area north-east of Auburn, CA. Purchase the booklet from any of the local stores listed on the ASRA Canyon Keepers website. Overall, I rate "American River Canyon Hikes" as an excellent resource for hiking in Auburn State Recreation Area (SRA) (**** 4 stars out of 5).
