Description: This should be peak wildflower season in Placer County.  I started reading up on the area recently and besides having a huge selection of wonderful hikes, we'll be right next to the American River, not to speak of wonderful old Gold Rush towns like Grass Valley and Nevada City.  It's only ~ 2.5 hours from the Bay Area so we'll have plenty of time on the first day to wander around and/or go on a short hike.
Dogs are allowed, but possibly only small ones.  Check with the hotel about size of dog allowed and nightly deposit.

We'll be staying at the Red Lion Inn & Suites, Auburn. To make a reservation tell them you’re with the San Francisco Hiking Club.

The rooms are $333.72 total for 3 nights in a King bedroom. 
The rooms are $378.00 total for 3 nights in a Double room.
There is no charge to cancel your reservation if it's a week or more before the check-in date. 
I imagine you can book one of the rooms for 2 nights or 4 nights and get the same nightly rate.
I forgot to ask about whether dogs are allowed.
Breakfast of sorts is included. 

TO BOOK A ROOM, CALL 530-885-1800

IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO, PLEASE REGISTER ON OUR SITE FIRST, THEN CALL TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM.
