Feather Falls Day Hike
This is a spectacular opportunity to see the sixth-highest waterfall in the continental United States. Feather Falls plunges 640 feet over a sheer granite cliff in its rush to meet the middle fork of the Feather River.
The hike is eight miles round trip, moderately strenuous and somewhat steep at times, but not technically difficult. Beginners in good shape will enjoy this hike! Price includes transportation and guides.

University Falls Day Hike
This is one of the most rewarding day hike destinations in the area! We will hike three miles to this hidden oasis near Placerville, and spend the day playing and lounging near natural water slides which feed the Rubicon River. The pools of cool water offer refreshment on a hot, summer day.
While there is one steep section, this trip is suitable for athletic beginners. Bring your lunch, a camera and a spirit of fun to this perfect heat-escaping destination! Fee includes transportation and guides.
