Cronan Ranch Loop - November 18, 2017
This is a 6.2 moderate mile hike in the Cronan Ranch Recreation Area. We will do the Cronan Ranch loop. The trail is well-marked. We will depart from the Cronan Ranch trailhead following the West Ridge Trail, then continue to the left at the juncture with the West Ravine Trail. After 2.3 miles, the trail intersects the South Fork. Take a sharp left turn. At the next main intersection, take a right to parallel the American River until intersecting the East Ridge Trail. Remember to take plenty of water and a hat as the open space provides sparse coverage from the sun. Upon reaching the river, we will have a lunch break.
