Location: Harvego Bear River Preserve, North Auburn
Fall is a beautiful time to be outdoors, and we’ve resumed our docent led hikes! For this hike, our docents will show you the sites of our beautiful Harvego Bear River Preserve.
Distance and difficulty: 4 miles+ and takes approximately 3-4 hours. This is an easy to moderate hike with some rough terrain and an elevation gain of around 500 ft.
Who should attend: This hike is for anyone who can hike the distance at a slow to moderate pace. Children under 7 years old may have difficulty. Sorry, no dogs allowed unless they are service animals (due to the potential conflicts with livestock and wildlife).
About Harvego Bear River Preserve
This preserve, which includes a working cattle ranch, protects critical unfragmented oak woodlands in the Bear River watershed, and is part of one of the last relatively “wild” areas in western Placer County. It includes over three miles of Bear River frontage and features spectacular views and an amazing diversity of wildlife. Learn more about this beautiful preserve here.
