A nice unpaved segment of the El Dorado Trail that doesn't get a lot of use. Starting point features some train cars, and maintenance car rides on Sundays. Walk west along the El Dorado Trail from here toward Shingle Springs or east toward Diamond Springs, either direction will take you past various farms/ranches/animals. If heading west, an ideal destination is the railroad cut about 4 miles out (near the freeway at Red Hawk Parkway). If heading east, the trail stops at Walmart and then resumes again across the street.
