the Sonora Community Trail

In this month's Tuolumne County Trailhead radio show, we catch up to Tyler Summersett about improvements on the Sonora Community Trail, a sweet little figure-8 loop trail of just under a mile in length. The trail is behind the Sonora Main Branch of the Tuolumne County Library on Greenley Road. Tyler, a Senior Transportation Planner/Trails Coordinator for the Tuolumne County Transportation Council, hopes for a trail work day and grand opening in the not too distant future -- pandemic permitting.

Also, we went hiking in early June! The pandemic eased and the stay-at-home order was modified. We offered three hikes with group sizes limited to 10 per outing. On Friday, June 5, we did a 13.5-mile loop from Twain Harte to Lyons Lake. We walked up the ditch and flume trail and back via the Confidence Railroad Grade.

On Saturday, June 6, we hit the high country with a 6.5-mile hike on the Arnot Creek Trail, off of Clark Fork Rd. Highlights included crossing the creek on a massive downed log, the largest and healthiest population of Pussypaws (a wildflower) I've ever seen, and a tree whose bark had been shredded by a bear!

On Sunday, June 7, we opted for the short, strenuous Dutchess Mine Trail. This trail starts at the north east side of the Parrotts Ferry Bridge and scales Table Mountain gaining 1000' in a short 1.5 miles (a 3 mile loop). The views were spectacular!
