Trail Facts: This 0.8 mile out-and-back trail is located on Bear Yuba Land Trust’s 35-acre Clover Valley Preserve near the community of Alta Sierra. Look for the trail’s namesake, an old rusting sky blue 1964 Rambler, before reaching the trail’s end near the edge of South Wolf Creek. In December 2014, the Bach family – owners of the property since the 1970s – generously donated the land to BYLT for the purpose of protecting the land from development forever. Visitors of the Rambler Trail will have the opportunity to explore Clover Valley Preserve, a lovely example of an oak and mixed conifer forest. Built by hardworking volunteers and opened during the winter of 2015, the trail offers a pleasant walk along gentle switchbacks on a sunny slope. South Wolf Creek bisects the length of the landscape, providing habitat for aquatic and terrestrial life.
