CANYON VIEW TRAIL
TUESDAY,
MARCH 5, 2024
DIFFICULTY: Easy
ELEVATION CHANGE: Some easy ups and downs. Starting elevation, approx. 1200 ft.
HIKE DISTANCE: Between 3 and 4 miles
GENERAL LOCATION: Auburn
DESCRIPTION:
A short drive and a short, but beautiful hike. The Preserve was
purchased by Placer Land Trust in 2003 and the 1st trails opened in
2013. The area is full of oaks, pines, a tiny stream and a brief
view of the Sierras. The trails are packed dirt and dip into
canyons so there are some gradual downs and ups. We will start
the hike with a 30 minute hike beside the Auburn Canal. We will
have a snack break to get fueled up for the ascent back to the cars.
TRAVEL TIME/DISTANCE:
30 minutes driving time and 16 miles one way. A donation of $4 is suggested for
riders. Driving directions — see below and print before coming to
the hike, if driving.
HIKE LEADER: Barb Proffitt SWEEP: Chris Gomes

bathrooms at Orchard Creek or the Fitness Center before leaving Lincoln
Hills.
