Folsom Lake Trail- Old Salmon Falls to Monte Vista 5-3-12
The total stats for my hike were:
3 miles
3 miles
With a few hours to kill on an overcast and rainy day, I decided to do a quick linkup and scouting trip on the Folsom Lake trail. I had done a small hike with my son last week in this area, but hit some nasty downed trees and poison oak patches.
The trails in this area are rarely used and very overgrown. I was succesful in finding a remote turnout on Salmon Falls road leading to the Sweetwater Trail which leads to Salmon Falls bridge. I will knock out this section soon. The section from this turnout to Monte Vista is more difficult. There is no trail on this section of the lake, so I will either have to walk on the road or wait for the water level to drop and follow the shoreline.
