MINERS-FALSE RAVINES TRAILS OCTOBER 4, 2022 DIFFICULTY: Easy/Moderate ELEVATION GAIN: Some modest hills HIKE DISTANCE: About 4 and 3/4 miles GENERAL LOCATION: In Roseville south of I-80 DESCRIPTION: We will start on the Miners Ravine Trail north of the Roseville AutoMall. Traveling east through a Roseville protected open space corridor, we will stroll about 1 mile along this creek corridor. Turning left we will take the False Ravine Trail another mile plus through a second open space corridor. We will turn around at the Secret Ravine road under crossing. Portions of this trail abut large elegant homes. We can reflect that we do not need to maintain the large landscape of some of these mansions. We return the way we came- not a loop. This is wild turkey country. On the pre hike we saw them; but no promises.A great urban trail. GREAT TRAIL FOR BEGINNERS AND GOOD WALKERS. RESTROOMS: None along the trail, only bushes. Use Orchard Creek facilities prior to the hike. RISKS: None. This is a 10 foot asphalt hiking trail the whole way. HIKE LEADER/ SWEEP: Jim and Gail Cutler. For questions before the hike call us at 916 253-7437. TRAVEL TIME / DISTANCE : 12 miles - about 20 minutes. A donation of $4 is suggested.  RAIN DAY OF HIKE CANCELS THIS ADVENTURE PREPARTION FOR HIKE; :     Bring a copy of your ID (driver’s license), health card, and an emergency contact phone number with you when you hike.
