These Boots are Made for Hiking...

We'll meet at Rossmoor and Ambassador Drives at the Rossmoor Bar park entrance sign by the yellow gate, parking is free. We'll be walking on a mix of asphalt and dirt trails for 1.5 hours (3.25-4 mi). Meet for summer hours at 7am (June thru September), the rest of the year 8am. We depart promptly at 7:05 or 8:05 am all year round, rain or shine. It's mainly flat, we go the pace of the group. We alternate the route each time between heading toward El Manto or River Bend Park just to spice it up a bit. We see wildlife, go along the river (and sometimes in it) and enjoy conversation. Many don't sign up so expect 3-7 attendees most days. Dogs are welcomed, we have 2 regular fuzz faces. It is recommended you wear long sleeves and pants as we sometimes go thru stickers, shoe gaiters are helpful. There is always a bathroom stop if needed. Bring water, a hat, rain gear, sunscreen, hand sanitizer and a snack if needed.

Meet at the parking lot by Sculpture Park, Miner' s Ravine Trail, Roseville. Sculpture Park is across the street from the Roseville Auto Mall. Drive to the parking lot of the 24-Hour Fitness Center. Meet at the smaller parking lot to the south of the fitness center.

We walk toward the east end of Miner's Ravine Trail near Sierra College Blvd. We stop for a brief time and walk back. We walk about 3 miles an hour, and the entire walk takes about 2 hours, almost 6 miles total.

Please be considerate and change your RSVP if you cannot make the walk.

No dogs. Thank you.

Let's explore the Hidden Gem of Nature — Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary.

We will step into a peaceful world where nature thrives untouched. Join me for a beautiful 4.3 mile hike through the Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary, a 430-acre wildlife haven nestled along the Feather River just north of Sacramento. This scenic trail winds through lush woodlands, open meadows, and serene riverbanks — the perfect escape from city life.

As we wander beneath towering oaks and cottonwoods, keep your eyes open for deer, river otters, and over 190 species of birds that call this sanctuary home. It’s a paradise for photographers, birdwatchers, and anyone who loves the calm rhythm of nature.

We’ll take it at an easy-to-moderate pace, giving everyone time to enjoy the sounds of rustling leaves, the gentle flow of the river, and the stunning fall scenery.

After our hike, we’ll head to Mas Fuego for a well-deserved lunch.

Since parking is limited we will meet at Mas Fuego to carpool about 15 minutes to the hiking location 38.93082, -121.59044.

We will be joined by another Meetup group.
