Cronin Ranch Loop - December 14, 2013
Join us on Saturday for a 4.9 mile hike on the Cronan Ranch Loop near the South Fork of the American River outside Cool. We will hike the Down and Up Trail which offers views of open savannas, live oaks, and tree-lined ridges. There are some steep descents and short, but steep, ascents along the trail. Near the end of the trail are some dilapidated buildings that used to comprise a set for western movies. Halfway through the hike we will stop for a snack beside the American River.
