Local Travel

Nevada County, Calif. - Some of California State Parks don't always attract the attention they deserve. Thankfully, in the case of Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park we were afforded a great opportunity to have this 3,000 acre space and gem of history mostly to ourselves.

Lincoln, Calif. - Which springtime suburban hike in Lincoln that's mostly flat with some terrific scenery and can easily be enjoyed with the entire family?

Roseville, Calif.- If you enjoy farmers markets, Roseville & Auburn are among the year-round destinations to grab a hot cup of coffee along with some fresh produce, baked goods and more. Personal faves include Mahany Park and Old Town Auburn.

Rocklin, Calif. - In 2018, local residents may have opposed Prop 68, but California voters approved it. Fast forward to 2024 and you'll find residents of all political stripes celebrating the results in the form of Sunset Whitney Recreation Area in Rocklin.

Newcastle, Calif.-  On a Tuesday morning, with a balmy, sunny 70+ degrees in the forecast and a few hours of early morning work already completed, the outdoors beckoned. We decided to take the call.

Roseville, Calif. - Winter's firm grip is bringing a blizzard to Placer County's high country with up to 10 feet of snow and 115 mph winds according to the National Weather Service. From Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Olympic Valley to all around the Lake Tahoe region, residents are bracing and hunkering down for mother nature's might.

Roseville, Calif. - According to the City of Roseville, the Al Johnson Wildlife Area includes rice and dry farming and a small area within the West Roseville Specific Plan contains prime farmland within a pistachio orchard. Cool!

Remote, rugged, and devoid of human life on most days, Hell Hole Reservoir is a Placer County paradise nestled at 4,600 feet, just 10 miles west of Lake Tahoe and a world apart.

Rocklin, Calif.- Some parks deliver that easy, peaceful feeling. Boulder Ridge Park in Rocklin is one such park. The nearly 12 acre suburban oasis is differentiated from other local parks by at least one incredibly noteworthy fact

Auburn, Calif. - You might be surprised at just how many local residents in South Placer County have never taken the time to explore Auburn. A world apart and just a mere 15-mile or so drive up I-80.
