NEW FEATURE
As we hear about events and trail closures we will be posting them on our site. Events will be under "What's New" and closures will be under "Alerts" at the top of the page, both will also be on the corresponding staging area page if applicable. Please let us know if you would like any events posted or know of any trail closures.
Thank you for visiting our Internet site. We want to give you an opportunity to see the staging areas and trails we have cataloged and hope you will revisit as we update and add new staging areas and trails to the site.
This website came about because two friends who like to ride, Patty and Heidi decided it would be cool to share some of the neat places they ride with other people. Our friendship and countless enjoyable hours of trail riding together began in 1994 and has been the catalyst for creation of this web site. There are so many wonderful trails available in the Cool/Divide area and throughout Northern California and it is our goal to try to provide the type of information needed by horseback riders and hikers that will encourage you to get out and try new places. Our emphasis will be on staging areas, the surrounding trails, parking and general information, along with pictures and insight regarding the various trails.
The staging areas on this site represent just the beginning of what we hope to include as we continue to explore additional staging areas and trails. The staging areas we currently have are Cronan, Olmstead, Hidden Falls, Silver Lake, American River Confluence, Auburn Staging Area , Dru Barner, Empire Mine State Park, Foresthill Divide Loop, Granite Bay Staging Area and Lake Camanche - China Gulch. Coming soon will be Sly Park, Castle Peak, more staging areas around Folsom Lake and Lake Camanche to name a few. Please continue to check our site for updates and additional staging areas - a quick check under the "What's New" tab located to the left of this page will update you on all new information added.
Please feel free to reach us at our e-mail address coolhorsetrails@gmail.com. We are looking forward to hearing from you and any comments you might have about the web site or additional trails you would like to see on this web site.
Please enjoy the site and remember this site will constantly be updated and new staging areas added.
