Au programme
Join us as we explore ancient Native American trails, camps, and villages, and search for new, previously undiscovered sites.
We will be hiking a mostly-level 3-5 mile trip, navigating the low altitude grasslands of the Sierra Nevada foothills near Cool, California. The trip leader will discuss the history and natural world of this area, sharing his knowledge of the local Native Americans, as well as the flora, fauna, and geology of the area.
Our trip will also explore new areas, if desired, in search for previously unknown, undocumented cultural resources. Any new sites will be passed along to the North Central Information Center for historical preservation. This is your chance to find history!
After the hike, participants will receive a detailed map and photos, if desired, from the trip. This is a kid-friendly, dog-friendly walk, so plan on taking your time!
Other things to note
This is a hike in the mountains, so plan accordingly. We will be hiking off the trail, so be sure you're comfortable doing so. To stay on the trail is to limit yourself.

Your guide, Rich Cross, has obsessively explored the northern Sierra Nevadas and deserts of Western Nevada for over 30 years, getting out on the trails several times a week. He is Field Trip Director with the Nevada County Gem & Mineral Society and a volunteer with Tahoe National Forest, assisting their archaeological team in finding new sites. He is a master of the backcountry, capable of navigating in pretty much any conditions, completely comfortable both off trail and on, rain or shine, night or day. Mr. Cross has also had extra training in wilderness-specific first aid.

Destinations
Where we go depends upon YOU!
At the beginning of the trip, we will assess our abilities and what you wish to see, and guide the hike accordingly. A typical hike will be 2-5 miles and last 2-3 hours, as we hike from site to site, crossing open meadows and fording the occasional stream. The Native sites are not typically located right on the trail, so we will be leaving the trails as necessary.

Richard narrated a magical walk through historic and lovely Sierra Nevada foothills. He was so sweet with the twin boys of the family who was also on this walk with my friend and I. We all learned about the history of the native Americans, and how to identify crystal in the rocks. This was a perfect afternoon appropriate for active seniors and young families.

An excellent adventure! We had walked nearby paths before, but did not know anything about the sites just off the trail: grinding pits, abandoned wells, village locations and even some interesting old garbage dumps! Richard is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and easy to communicate with. If you enjoy walking through history, take a hike!

Rich was a great leader on our amazing hike through the Auburn State Recreation Area. He is extremely knowledgeable on the history of the area and knows the back country trails and surrounding areas quite well. The hike was memorable and educational, and it was definitely worth the cost of admission! Thanks Rich, and I'm sure our paths will cross again. -David and Parker
