Reviewed by RP on 7/28/2005 Some of the trail is easy to find, but near the American River (where it's steepest) The trail is difficult or impossible to locate at times. It's easy to hit a dead ends blocked with a wall of thick manzanita where you have to back track. Not too bad going down but hell coming back up. We went down in about 1.75 hrs and came back in about 3.75 hrs. Lots of Poison Oak. There isn't much shade so go when it's cool. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions. Information on this web site comes from volunteer reporters and may contain errors or omissions.
