eMTB Ride - The Whole Salmon Fillet
Details
Note: This ride is being hosted by Bill Floyd and Devin Johnson. Posted on their behalf.
Meet at 9:45. Roll out 10 AM sharp.
Meet at the Skunk Hollow trailhead in the Skunk Hollow parking lot, which is adjacent to the Salmon Falls Bridge. This is a fee lot, but you may be able to find free parking on the south side of the bridge.
This route starts with Skunk Hollow (aka SFART) up to Acorn. It then follows Acorn down to the Acorn parking lot, under Salmon Falls Road to the Salmon Falls Ranch area, where there are several trails (Sidewinder, Highline, Chapparal, …). It then connects to Darrington. We follow Darrington to the long chunky climb up Flagstaff, zip down Salmon Falls Road to the Campground, and return via Darrington.
The route is about 23 miles with 2800 feet of climbing. There are some relatively technical rocky sections, particularly the switchbacks on Skunk Hollow trail and along Darrington.
A full power eMTB with 625+ WH battery is recommended.
The weather looks relatively mild for Monday, but be sure to carry sufficient water, snacks, etc.
Post-ride food and beverages: Viscuso’s Pizza – El Dorado Hills
