Start collecting
your acorns! John Olmstead will lead a hike to a private, remote wilderness area along the
South Yuba River. Visit a special meadow with native
plants and grasses, portions of the Far West Excelsior Canal (several miles downriver from
the Independence Trail) and a miner’s "camp".
After a moderately steep hike along an old trail to the
river, see some of the only remaining Native American bedrock mortars in the area and
learn to grind your own acorns. Kids will love this trek! |
