You will also see Nimbus Dam, and evidence of the historic mining done from this portion of the American River, native plants, trees, wildlife, and waterfowl. The scenery in our area is beautiful and varied. Some portions are in full sun and others are more treed and shaded. This is not a flat ride through a pasture; you will get to go up and down hills and through the trees.
