A Walk in the Park
Miner’s Ravine & False Ravine
DIFFICULTY: Easy
ELEVATION GAIN: scant
HIKE DISTANCE: 6 ½ to 9 miles
GENERAL LOCATION: Roseville
DESCRIPTION: This is a hidden treasure in Roseville.
Miner’s ravine is a 6½ mile trail through beautiful riparian landscape
right in the heart of Roseville. A
branch of this trail, False Ravine, adds an additional 1½ to 3 miles. Sights include the babbling water of Miner’s
Ravine, spring flowers, and the backyards of estates along the wetlands. Based on hikers’ interests, we can vary the
distance covered. The trailhead, off
Sierra College Blvd., is near Fin’s restaurant. We plan to end our hike with a fish sandwich lunch. We will try
and setup carpooling to accommodate hikers’ interests.
TRAVEL TIME/DISTANCE: 12 miles – about 20 minutes. Return after lunch – probably home before 2PM. This is a $3 ride.

Monique Wood
