From All Trails: Explore this 5.5-mile out-and-back trail near Sacramento, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 41 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.

I will post what I am wearing, what I look like, and where I am standing once I arrive so there is no confusion. I will be starting the walk exactly at 9:30am so please arrive around 9:15 to 9:20am to ensure you can find parking and are part of the pack. It says dogs on leash, but please use your best judgement if they go off leash.

The address provided via All Trails and Google Maps is: 9517 Mira Del Rio Dr, Sacramento, CA 95827, not the address listed below, but it wouldn't accept the address. :) There is a small dirt lot. If you look it up on Google Maps you'll see it.

As always, RSVP for the number of dogs you are bringing. You and 1 dog=just you, you +2 dogs = +1. If you are bringing extra people, no need to RSVP for them. Main concern is the pack size.
