Hike this: Poppy Paradise...Angels Creek Trail at New Melones Reservoir. ~Calaveras Visitors Bureau Feature

Angels Camp, CA...Hike this: Poppy paradise. Angels Creek Trail at New Melones Reservoir. California Poppies are in full effect right now and one of the best ways to take them all in is by hiking and mountain biking the trails at New Melones Reservoir. One of the locals’ favorite trails for viewing poppies is the 4-mile Angels Creek loop (pictured above). This moderate, single track rolling trail with stunning views of New Melones at every bend follows its way along the side of a hillside. In Spring (right now!) the poppies are endless and the temperatures are perfect....

To get here: From Angels Camp, drive south on CA-49 for 2 miles. Turn right on Whittle Road and proceed to the entry gate (admission for cars $5). Once you enter the recreational area, continue down Whittle Road to the intersection of Angels Creek Access Road and turn right again. Follow the road until it ends at a parking area. You’ll find the trail head here.

Round-Up Trail
Posted on: 2012-04-25 11:46:39   By: blueoak
 
I am guessing from the photo that the trail was sprayed with Round-Up to keep the vegetation away from the trail.I can understand the reason for vegetation mitigation,namely snakes,ticks etc,but the use of a toxic herbicide along a water source is not wise.Round-up is toxic,it causes health problems evidenced in independent trials.

If the US Forest has a safe biodegradeable oil for mixing in chain saw gas,for use in biological sensitive areas,then surely an alternative to a toxic herbicide should be used near a water source.The spraying of round-up along roadsides,which drain into water reservoirs ,has led to 80% of human urine containing glyphosate residues.We are spraying toxics into our water supplies.

There are much less toxic alternatives to round-up ,they should be used where run off of a herbicide will enter the water supply.
