Dates: November 2-3, 2013 Duration: 2 days, 1 night Mileage: ~9.8 miles Group Members: Nick McGuire, Amanda Eberle Pack Weights: Between 25 & 30 lbs Notes: Pleasant weather. Slight chance of rain but never came. Snow on the ground in only one shadowed location about a mile from the trailhead. GPS Route Map Available! Outbound Travel: Davis, CA to American River Ranger Station (Foresthill) = 70 minutes Ranger Station to Mumford Bar Trailhead Parking = 25 minutes Day 1: (~6.1 miles) Mumford Bar Trailhead to American River Trail Left trailhead parking lot / campground at 10:55AM and headed along Mumford Bar trail. Trail was pretty decent at first but lots of downed trees and very over grown in sections as we got closer to the river. Just before reaching the river the trail was hard to follow due to all of the downed trees and brambles but we were able to make it to the river / Mumford Bar around 12:30AM. Had lunch along the river (drop to river is rather steep). Continued along American River Trail, quickly passing the cabin situated not far from Mumford Bar. Trail eventually became very hard to follow and we had to navigate around very brushy sections before trying to meet back up with the trail. Eventually decided to turn back and camp along the river about a quarter mile east of Mumford Bar in the region where the trail was closest to the river and where there was evidence of previous camping, likely by kayakers. Spent the afternoon exploring the river around the campsite and making dinner. Day 2: (~3.7 miles) Left the campsite around 9:30AM and reached Mumford Cabin about 15 minutes later. Continued our hike out and reached the parking lot at the trailhead around noon.
