South Fork American River Trail

The 6.5 miles roll continuously through 6 distinct climbs, adding up to 827 ft of gain without one dominant ascent. The main climb starts around mile 0.93 and runs 0.54 miles, gaining 285 ft at an average 10.0%. You finish 194 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.

At 6.7 miles, it is the 3rd longest of 162 trails mapped in Placer County.
