We live walking distance to the American River Bike Trail so we use it frequently. Great for families, except when the speed racers think they own the trail. More

We actually planned our home purchase in Sacramento to have easy access to the trail. We have traveled every part of it and are so lucky to have this beautiful bike parkway in Sacramento. More
