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.

From my separate City of Auburn review:…read more Auburn is an attractive city, especially Old Town Auburn, which attracts passersby on the highway between Reno and Sacramento with the quaint architecture on a hill flanked by a giant sculpture. Its small-town charm is likely why movies like Rocky and Bullwinkle, Breakdown, Wisdom, and xXx had scenes shot here, but the town relates most to the 1996 John Travolta movie Phinome Phenomin Phenomm Look Who's Talking. The guy who discovered gold here in 1849 was memorialized by Ken Fox with a 45-ton concrete (rebar and wire mesh) statue at the entrance of Old Town. Ken Fox was a dentist able to do this in between teeth cleanings and forcing customers to look at super close-up pictures of their teeth in order to sell "special deep teeth cleaning" by the quadrant. This dentist has more "Great Statues" in the area which you'd likely find ful-"filling". Get it? Anyway, it's right off the highway, so stop there and check out Old Town. (Check my reviews on Edelweis 2 and the California Club)

Quality/Quantity - What a cool active town, see pictures…read more(and/or their website) of some current events. This might be our new pit stop...? Or a designated location? We usually go to downtown Auburn, so I am glad we came to Old Town this time. Atmosphere - Cool historic town. Lots of locally owned shops. Plenty of places to eat. Walk friendly but not sure if ADA friendly. Dog friendly, at least at the brewery. :) Service - Good, everyone we met was friendly. Price - Depends on where you shop, eat, and drink. Owner Comment - What a great fun town, looking forward to coming back soon when I have more time.
