Book Synopsis
Looking for everyday outdoor adventures in Sacramento? Look no further! In Mildly Scenic, author and outdoor enthusiast Ashley Shult Langdon gives you the inside scoop on Sacramento's best-kept secret: The Lower American River. We're talking grassy meadows, shady wooded trails, sunny bluffs, clay banks, rocky washes, fluffy sand, deep pools, vistas, and wide open skies. Whether you're a dog-walker, a sunset seeker, a sandcastle builder or a trail runner, Mildly Scenic has a bite-sized adventure for you.
Mildly Scenic is the first comprehensive guide to trails and entry points along the 4,800 acres of the Lower American River. Each chapter is a bite-sized adventure-starting at the bottom of the river in downtown Sacramento and ending at the serene Lake Natoma. Whether you're in the mood for a quick riverside picnic or a five-mile trail loop, this book is the essential resource for nature lovers living in Northern California, the Sacramento Valley, and the foothills.
