Robin Center, longtime ARC supporter and Coloma river-front property owner (along with neighbors Barbara & David Thomas, and Naturalist Andie Thrams & Dennis Eagan), will lead this one-of-a-kind Poppy Walk.

With glowing orange fields overlooking the crystal water of the South Fork of the American River, the stunning contrasts and vibrant colors are a sight few have the good fortune to witness.

The river trail is very steep in places, but has a good flat bed. Hiking to the flowers takes about 15-20 minutes. The river trail also has views of some of the earliest land that ARC protected around Triple Threat Rapid.

Healthy snacks and punch will await your return. Meeting location Coloma/Lotus area. Cost: $35 per person. Donations aid the Bill Center Memorial Fund supporting river frontage and trails.
