This is a short hike with some great views and beautiful riparian habitat. Many large oaks shade the trail as you wind your way through grasslands and near small creeks. Bring a snack and relax at one of several benches and picnic tables in the preserve.To get here take the Bowman exit from 80 and park at the Lincoln Way Park and Ride. Cross the street and make a sharp right parallel to the street to get onto the narrow trail and descend into the preserve. Soon you will come upon a map and information showing you options including a one mile loop through the preserve.

Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor?

Good trail! Lots of poison oak around, so dont wander from it. No restrooms

I was a cool little hike, a bit steep. But then again I am afraid of heights.

Have always wanted to make my way up to Auburn for some small nooks-and-crannies hikes and I started with this one, absolutely gorgeous hike for all levels!! definitely visit this place! so peaceful

This is a beautiful spot to watch the moon rise over the Sierra! Right off of interstate 80, favorite place for locals to look at the mountains and the American River Canyon. When youre in Auburn get off on the Bowman exit, look toward the canyon on the east side, your right there!
