Mount Whitney Training - Old Flume Trail 02/14/2012
_ Date: February 14, 2012 Trail: Old Flume Trail/Red Shack, Placerville Calif Temp: 53 Degrees Mileage: 3.00 Out and Back Elevation Gain: 800 Feet Time: 50 minutes My friends and fellow trail blazers Shannon and Eric joined me on the Flume Trail training hike this afternoon. We took Highway 49 towards Coloma, to the trail head which is directly across from the Red Shack. There is a fairly large parking area. The trail aptly named, features two separate flume trails. The elevation drop is rapid, at 800 feet for 1.5 miles. Poison oak lines the trail, however the trail is wide enough for two persons side by side in most areas. Stunning views of the Chili Bar Canyon abound as you make your descent to the South Fork of the American River. This is about the 10th time I’ve hiked this trail, and it’s definitely my favorite as an after-work/golden hour hike. Once you reach the bottom you can follow the flume trail towards Coloma or hike along the river bank. You will find many calm areas of the river with gorgeous flat rocks which make excellent skipping stones. My husband loves to fish here, and my Golden loves to swim here. If you are considering this for a day hike, pack a lunch and enjoy the scenery. The canyon towers high above and the trained eye can even spot Highway 193 through Chili Bar at its peak. Though it is only 1.5 miles away from a major highway, it feels very remote and secluded. The return hike is straight up hill, which has nearly no level spots. If you are a seasoned hiker, you will have no trouble enjoying this hike during the weekday and will enjoy the strenuous workout. Next up – Monroe Ridge Trail – Coloma Comments04/07/2012 2:51am
