Mountain biking the Confluence Trail, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
The Confluence Trail is #5 of the five trails that make up the Clementine Loop Trail. It begins off Old Foresthill Road out of the Mammoth Bar OHV area in Placer County, runs along the Middle Fork of the American River and ends up at the Foresthill Bridge.
The Quarry Trail (see the trail in the background of this photo) that I wrote about in previous posts, is on the other side of the river, in El Dorado County.
Note: This trail is recommended for advanced riders only.
