Today I met up with the Bayside adventure sports Hiking Group for a beautiful hike through Hidden Falls Park just outside Auburn California.
The trail winds down a gentle drop to a river Flowing through the valley.
Our first big treat was the hidden Falls. There’s a viewing platform adjacent to it where all seven of us got a nice group photo.
After leaving the Falls, we continued across a bridge to a second set of falls, they’re actually more of a water cascade as there’s no drop. This water Cascade also had a viewing platform above the bridge that offered great views
We continued hiking along the river eventually coming to another attractively built foot bridge crossing a small tributary.
After crossing another large vehicle size bridge, we stopped for lunch before continuing on.
We encountered many different species of fungi along the trail. It was growing on trees, the ground, old stumps, and even the underside of a large root ball from a fallen tree.
We continued alongside the river now going upstream making a full loop. As we got close to the end of the hike we were able to look across the valley and see the hidden falls close to the side of the river we had started on.
We finally arrived back at the parking lot having been blessed by great weather and very comfortable temperatures. The scenery was a beautiful, And the trail was very well maintained.
