    It's a little gem right off the road of Rock Springs Rd. And gets really quiet when you get to the…read moretop of the Quarry and see the beautiful view of Folsom Lake Loomis and Nee Castle on a clear day, take a pair of binoculars for a better view. So much history and lot's to learn from walking around the quarry, it's not that big of a place but great for a short afternoon hike. I think it's worth the drive and visit the quarry, on weekends the museum is open. I love California so beautiful here.

    Griffith Quarry Park is one of the more obscure regional parks in the Sacramento area. Specifically…read morenear Penryn outside of Rocklin and Loomis, this park preserves one of the more important granite quarries in the region and its history. The park has a small parking lot off Taylor Road making it a nice stop during mandarin season or year round. The park has a tiny historical museum about Griffith Griffith who operated the quarry for many years. It produced a very high quality granite used in many California buildings. Outside the museum, the park opens up to a nice nature trail surrounding the old quarry. It is now a rather large pit slowly being reclaimed by nature. The hike is easy with only a few climbs to the top of the pit. Grab a map from the museum or take a picture for your phone to help describe the stops. The museum and park are free, so enjoy and maintain this resource. Facilities are limited, so bring water and seek out the portable toilets. Griffith Quarry Park has history and nature which is great for families or anyone interested in the area. Don't expect strenuous activity or historic battles, just a nice visit.

I guess I'd categorize this as more of a "walk" than a "hike" but that's often debatable, as it is in this case. Walking usually involves little change in altitude and it is in fact, fairly flat here. My GPS registered a total of 75 feet change over my three mile walk and honestly, that's not far from the typical vertical axis margin of error for a GPS over the hour or so that I was walking - so there's that. "Walking" over "hiking" also speaks to the surface being tread upon. Walking is usually on flat prepared surfaces - sidewalks, streets, well manicured gravel paths, etc. These paths aren't in that category. They aren't accessible for elderly with walkers or wheelchairs for sure. Some were wider dirt roads that a truck could go down, but others were fairly narrow "ruts" in the dirt & mud created by the single file passage of horses. You can probably get away with wearing walking or cross training type shoes during the warmer/drier months, but hiking shoes or even boots wouldn't be a bad idea to give a bit of ankle support with the uneven paths - but really, overall, this place is pretty easy... just not "paved sidewalk" easy. As the name implies, it's intended to be a nature reserve and bird sanctuary. There's a list of 66 varieties of birds that supposedly can be seen during different times of the year. Late February isn't exactly peek birding season - I only saw a half-dozen varieties or so... maybe not even that. I plan to come back a few times in the future - follow and find out where more of the trails lead - there are trails all over the place; it's not just one big loop or anything. I did end up making a fairly big loop and clocked in at three miles. It'll also be nice to check this place out when more birds are out and about... not when it's too hot, though. Most of the trails are out in the open with very little tree cover - I can imagine it getting very hot during the summer.
