Marshal Gold Discovery Park, Coloma - May 21, 2011
It was here in 1848 James Marshall discovered gold; a year later, the world discovered California. We will hike on the Monroe Ridge, Discovery, and Monument trails. This is an easy-to-moderate 4 mile hike with a 1/2 mile steep climb in switchbacks. There are several historical buildings and museums to visit all along the American River. We will have lunch at the Coloma Club afterwards.
