Darrington Loop

We'll make an ~8 mile mile loop out of Darrington Trail, Salmon Falls Ranch, Acorn Creek, and the South Fork American River trail. Moderate hills and lovely river views.

We'll meet at the Darrington trailhead, which is on the northwest side of the Salmon Falls bridge. Parking is $12 in the lots if you don't have a pass (passes free at the library), but a handful of cars can also park free in the dirt on the south side of the bridge (leave yourself 5 minutes to walk to the lot from there). Carpool from Placerville available in the comments.

Rules reminder:

• 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.
