Sacramento River pedestrian trail

Jonathan L. Donihue swipes a card through an electronic reader device attached to a metal gate. A sign on the gate reads, 'RIVER ACCESS. Please use your room key. Caution: Uneven steps. Hours: 9 AM to 10 PM'

To escape the fires in Sonoma and Napa counties, we’ve been staying in the Sacramento area. When we checked in to a local hotel, we discovered an unexpected amenity: access by gate to a pedestrian trail along the Sacramento River. Walking along the trail, it took only a few minutes to reach Old Sacramento and the downtown. I could envision us returning, under less-stressful circumstances, and maybe bicycling the length of the trail from one end of Sacramento to the other.
