The Jedediah Smith Memorial Bike Trail is one of the best bike trails on the west coast of North America. But this isn’t that trail. I have never walked or rode that trail. I have; however, rode the Sacramento River Parkway Trail. In fact, I ride the trail nearly every weekday. An afterthought of the 32-mile Jedediah, the Sacramento River Parkway Trail is only about nine miles long, and I haven’t traveled all of that either. Are you impressed yet? Joking aside, I live less than a mile from the trail, so it is a convenient place to walk the dog. Also, I usually ride my bike to work and the trail is a great way of cutting out traffic adding only about two miles to the round trip. Well worth it.
