Rugged canyons to ridgeline vistas
Auburn, Calif. – The Placer County Board of Supervisors recently approved the solicitation for bids and the resulting execution of a contract for the Hidden Falls Regional Park Trails Expansion Project Phase 2.
This project will provide trail connectivity between the existing Hidden Falls Regional Park trail system and the parking area currently being constructed at 5345 Bell Road.
8 miles of additional trails
“As great as Hidden Falls is today, with 1,200 acres of open space and 30 miles of trails, we are excited for the public to see the extraordinary scenery on 600 new acres of oak woodland and eight miles of new trails that lead from rugged canyons to ridgeline vistas of the snow-capped Sierras,” said Placer County Parks Administrator Andy Fisher.
A portion of the new trail connection will be named the Loren Clark Trail, named after retired Placer County Community Development Deputy Director Loren Clark, who was instrumental in developing the Placer Legacy Program, which made the property purchases within the park possible.
Loren Clark, now vice president of the Board of Directors for the Placer Land Trust, voiced support for the project at Tuesday’s board meeting.
