Access Issue: The State Rec Area closes at dusk - most parking areas are self-paid
Details
Most of Auburn SRA is open from 7 am to sunset. Leave early enough to be off the trails before dusk. Most parking requires self registration fees in cash envelopes (or annual state park passes), and is enthusiastically enforced. Check the Auburn State Recreation Area website at
parks.ca.gov/?page_id=502 for current information. Note that the park's policy is that technical roped climbing is only permitted in the Cave Valley/Quarry area - outside the fenced private quarry at the back. Unroped climbing - aka bouldering or DWS - is allowed everywhere with a safe landing.
Description
This is an old concrete bridge buttress along the bank of the North Fork American River. You will have to pay for parking at the Auburn State Park Kiosk unless you are parking along highway 49.
Getting There
From the Auburn State Park Kiosk located on Old Foresthill Rd walk down to the bank of the North Fork American River. Once at the river bank walk upstream along the rocky shore. After meandering around a few shrubs, one should see the bridge buttress.
