When we moved to Roseville (a suburb 20 miles outside Sacramento) two years ago, I knew that it was a pretty typical suburban neighborhood with more shopping within five miles than anyone could ever need, but shortly after moving here, we received a welcome packet of information from the city's Parks & Recreation Department. What I was surprised to find inside was a map of the city with all of the walking trails marked. Who knew I could get all over town on mostly paved trails great for dog walking, bike riding or making a Saturday morning coffee run? Since then, my little guide map has been very well used and my dog, my husband, my friends and I have logged miles and miles all within the city limits.
My very favorite trail is the Miner's Ravine trail through oaks and rolling hills and along the ravine with the sound of moving water. There are always lots of people on the trails on the weekends, but not so many that you can't have your own quiet, contemplative moments. There are three different offshoots to this trail that goes from Sierra College Blvd all the way to Galleria Blvd and through the sculpture park off of I-80 and Eureka. Check out an online version of the city's trail maps and let me know your favorite sububan hike!
