We like biking on the American River Bike Trail near Sacramento. It starts in Old Sacramento and goes through pretty park land to Folsom Lak ... moree. The other name for the trail is the Jedediah Smith Bicycle Trail, but hardly anyone calls it that.

One of the best bike trails in Northern California is the American River Bike Trail Ramble. It is 64 miles round trip and runs by the Sacram ... moreento River and ends at Folsom Lake. The trail is flat until you approach Folsom Lake which makes it suitable for all skill levels.

The American River Bike Trail Ramble runs from Old Sacramento to Beal's Point. The trail is not too challenging and worth it for the beautif ... moreul scenery alone. It is also close enough to shops and rest areas, should you fancy a break.

Of course there are! One of my favorite places is the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, which has very cheap admission. It's great to see ... more all the cartoon art framed on the walls. It'll make you feel nostalgia for when you were a kid.

My family and I love visiting the California Auto Museum and the California State Railroad Museum. Both are in Sacramento and both are very ... moreinexpensive. Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding has a wonderful underground aquarium that is ideal for children.
