This eastward-bound trail starts at the back of the Skunk Hollow parking lot. It rises high above the river and winds along about 15 miles until it connects with Cronan Ranch trails. Choose whatever length of hike you like, there's nice views from the start and no particular destination of note. A lot of good geocaches along this trail. Maintained by the American River Conservancy.

$10 paid parking lot, or free gravel parking across the bridge or other gravel pullouts (which will probably fill up really early on summer weekends).
