About us
This is a group for hiking in El Dorado county. Both locals and non-locals welcome. Varied days/times, varied lengths and difficulties -- from casual walks to mountains. Varied locations too, but usually on the western slope. Hikes are usually posted a few days to a week before they happen. Pick the events that work for your schedule/interest.
The hikes are free, with free parking as well, except when otherwise noted. It costs us $299 a year to stay on Meetup, so donations are appreciated.
Rules:
- No dogs allowed. Unfortunately, although the dogs were blameless, their owners have repeatedly risked the safety of people, dogs and wildlife in and out of the group. Ignoring this rule will result in immediate removal from the group.
- If you can't make it, change your RSVP -- even if you don't know until 1 minute before the meetup start time, change your RSVP at that time so that we don't wait around for you.
- If there are people RSVPed who haven't arrived yet, we'll generally wait 5 minutes (sometimes longer depending on the circumstances).
- If there's a wait list for a meetup, people with a history of no shows will be removed to make room for those more likely to attend. When there's a wait list, please try to update your RSVP at least a day in advance if you can't make it.
- You hike at your own risk. We try to keep people from getting lost or injured, but you are ultimately responsible for yourself and knowing your limits.
- Any sort of bigotry (based on gender identity, race, religion, etc.) is unwelcome and would result in removal.

Fleming Meadow
Fleming Trail System & Trailhead, Pollock Pines, CA, USOur starting point will be the Fleming Meadow parking. You'll see the little road to the parking lot about a mile past Jenkinson Lake along Mormon Emigrant Road (your navigation app may tell you Mormon Emigrant is closed -- ignore that, it's wrong). Meet at the pictured map in the parking lot. Cell service is spotty.
There are many places to go from this starting point, which we can discuss. The default option will be routes 8A and 8 for an ~8 mile partial loop that includes a creek, forest, and meadows. Moderate hills.
