Dog Friendly Places Heres the scoop
Look for this friendly paw print throughout this guide to identify many dog friendly businesses and experience some pooch-pleasing fun. In addition to the miles of
scenic hiking trails, the area offers dog friendly shopping, wine tasting, gold panning, dining and accommodations. Most farms and ranches extend a welcoming paw to well-behaved pets on a leash.
Before you visit an establishment, please contact them and verify that they are still dog-friendly and available, as policies and management change frequently. All places listed require your dog to be leashed and under your direct control including parks and trails unless otherwise speci!ed.
For more dog friendly destination ideas at visit-eldorado.com
Pointed Rocks Trail to No Hands Bridge Olmstead Loop
Auburn State Recreation Area
Excerpts taken from 48 Dog Friendly Trails by Debi Preston
The Olmstead Loop Trail is especially popular in the spring-time when wildflowers are in bloom, ponds and vernal pools are visible, and over 50 species of birds can be seen. In December enjoy great vistas and perfect trail conditions.Note: The leash law is strictly enforced here. Hikers risk being
ticketed if dogs are observed off leash.Length: 6.5 mile loop (Rolling hills for the most part except on
800-foot descent and the return ascent)Difficulty: 3 Trailhead/Parking: Trailhead and parking are behind the fire sta-
tion in Cool. Take Hwy 49 south to Cool and turn right just before the fire station and blinking red light. First lot is for cars only and second is for horse trailers. Trailhead is across the street. There is a $10.00 use fee.Description: Start at the Olmstead Loop Trailhead in the
reverse direction (9.0 mile mark) along Highway 49 for a short time before heading west away from the road. Follow the green State Park post marker at each of the 4 junctions and stay on Olmstead Loop Trail.
In 1.3 miles you will see a field of boulders known as Pointed Rocks. When you come to the junction with Training Hill Trail. You will leave Olmstead Loop here and take this trail to the right. After you pass the sign warning of the .9-mile steep downhill you will be treated to great views of the Foresthill Bridge and distant mountains. At trails end you will come to No Hands Bridge, also known as Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge crossing the North Fork American River. A marker across the bridge gives interesting historical information.
There are several nice picnic spots in this area. On the return trip you will take the same route but instead of going up training hill turn left onto Western States Trail (WST) 3.3 miles to Cool. At the 7.5 state mile marker, veer left along the old fence line and follow this trail back onto Olmstead. Go left there and retrace your route back to the parking area.

Placerville, historically known as Hangtown, is a charming town rich with history named after the placer gold deposits found in its river beds and hills during the Gold Rush of the 1840s. Today, Historic Main Street has the most unique and diverse shopping district in the area, woven amongst businesses that date back over 100 years such as Placerville Hardware (the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi), Placerville News, Combellacks, Randolph Jewelers and the Cary House. Today, it
still serves as a gathering place for parades, celebrations and
other special events.

Originally a blacksmith from South Bend, Indiana, a young John M. Studebaker came to Placerville (formerly known as
Old Hangtown), California hoping to strike it rich. Like so many others of the time he soon learned that gold was scarce by that time and volunteered to help a local blacksmith make wheelbarrows for the miners for $10 each.
Having never made a wheelbarrow before,
cumbersome. But he was a quick learner and quickly became famous for his well-made wheelbarrows that stood up. With waiting lists for his many orders, he became known as Wheelbarrow John.
In 1858 Studebaker returned to South Bend with his savings to start his famous buggy and wagon company.
million-dollar automobile company. He never forgot Old Hangtown and returned to Placerville in 1912. The town threw a three-day party to celebrate the man who helped change the transportation industry.
In fact we are still celebrating the Studebaker success story with the John Studebaker International Wheelbarrow Races. Now in its 70th year, the event is held annually in June during El Dorado County fair in Placerville. Armed with nothing more than a wheelbarrow, a sack and a gold pan,
up their sack, then push their loaded wheelbarrows through a messy, grueling obstacle course in a series of races while a grandstand full of spectators cheer them on.

T he elevation range on the eastern side of El Dorado County assures four-season fun throughout the year. Camino was originally a lumber mill town and had a reputation as the Sugar Pine capital of logging. The mill railroad lines are no longer in use, but their gradual grades are now the domain of happy hikers who use the El Dorado Trail system from Placerville to Camino. The Pollock Pines area has a rich history that began when westward immigration brought gold seekers into this part of California via the Mormon Immigrant Trail. This colorful and unhurried route begins south of Pollock Pines and is one gateway to vast areas of the Eldorado National Forest. History also raced through this part of the county when young men on fast horses delivered the mail and news between St. Louis and San Francisco on the Pony Express. Summer fun centers around the picturesque Jenkinson Lake & Sly Park Recreation area; framed by beautiful forests and nine miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Swimming and boating are popular activities with two boat ramps and many beaches available to swimmers. The area also offers both day use and overnight camping with 191 campsites.
