Bassi Falls Leisure Day Hiking Event

Saturday July 17, 2010

WHO: This hike is open to everyone who would enjoy, from a hiker’s perspective, an easy going trail that meanders to 109’ Bassi Falls. Because it is so short we will probably attempt one or two other falls in the area as well, depending on our group.

WHAT: The hike is rated one boot, less than 5 miles, less than 1,000 ft elevation gain, and good stable trail.  This trail is only 1-1/2 miles RT with minimal elevation gain but a wondrous sight to see as it cascades over the smooth granite.

WHEN: On Saturday, July 17th we will meet at the Hazel Ave Park and Ride at 8:00 AM.  Car pooling is possible from this point.  We should arrive at the trailhead around 9:30.

WHEREFrom Hwy #50 about 20 miles east of Placerville, turn left (north) onto Ice House Rd (Forest Road 3). Drive 15.9 miles on Ice House Rd. to Union Valley Reservoir. Turn right onto an unmarked dirt road (Road 12N32A), just after crossing the bridge over Big Silver Creek (opposite Big Silver group camp). Drive 0.2 miles to a junction and turn left. Then drive 0.8 miles to another junction and turn right. Drive another 0.7 miles to the trailhead at the end of the road (total 1.7 miles along the dirt road). 

HOW: Please register on Eventbrite: Current BAS membership is required.  For benefits and to join, please see the membership page at www.BaysideAdventureSports.com.  If you are new to BAS, a 3-month trial membership is available by email PamelaH@Baysideonline.com

 NOTE: registration closes on Friday at 8:00 PM. You will not be able to register after that.  Please print out and bring a signed copy of the Liability Release found on the hiking website.

WHAT TO BRING: Wear appropriate hiking gear and apparel, including hat and sun block.  Bring at a minimum two liters of water lunch and few snacks. Please review the hiking essentials from the website. And don’t forget your cameras!

WEATHER:  The weather should be hot and clear, however it is always good to bring a light waterproof shell in case of afternoon thunderstorms so common in the Sierra this time of year.
