About us
This is a group for hiking in El Dorado county. Both locals and non-locals welcome (we're usually hiking much closer to Sacramento than the Sacramento-based groups are). Varied days/times, varied lengths and difficulties -- from casual walks to mountains. Varied locations within the county too, but usually on the western slope. Hikes are usually posted about a week before they happen. Pick the events that work for your schedule/interest.
The hikes are free, with free parking as well, except when otherwise noted. It costs us $299 a year to stay on Meetup, so donations are appreciated.
Rules:
- No dogs allowed. Unfortunately, although the dogs were blameless, their owners have repeatedly risked the safety of people, dogs and wildlife in and out of the group. Ignoring this rule will result in immediate removal from the group.
- If you can't make it, change your RSVP -- even if you don't know until 1 minute before the meetup start time, change your RSVP at that time so that we don't wait around for you.
- If there are people RSVPed who haven't arrived yet, we'll generally wait 5 minutes (sometimes longer depending on the circumstances).
- If there's a wait list for a meetup, people with a history of no shows will be removed to make room for those more likely to attend. When there's a wait list, please try to update your RSVP at least a day in advance if you can't make it.
- You hike at your own risk. We try to keep people from getting lost or injured, but you are ultimately responsible for yourself and knowing your limits.
- Any sort of bigotry (based on gender identity, race, religion, etc.) is unwelcome and would result in removal.

Cedar Park to Jenkinson Lake
Cedar Park Trail, 5568 Sly Park Rd, Pollock Pines, CA, USNovember 17th is National Hiking Day! Celebrate with an out-and-back morning hike from Cedar Park to Jenkinson Lake. We'll continue along the lake until 10:15, then turn around. That should be somewhere between 6 and 10 miles depending on pace.
The trail takes us through forest, burn scar, above a creek, through a little waterfall, past a hundred year old car wreck, over the spillway, and then along the side of the lake. Rolling hills, nothing extreme.
The parking lot is along Sly Park Road, enter "Cedar Park Trail" in google maps to find it or look for the sign in the picture (alas there won't be any snow). It's a small lot, but you should be able to park along the street if it fills.
