Great small, local museum that covers the history of Roseville as told by what was the local telephone company. Docent that gave me a tour was very knowledgeable about both the early history of telephones and the local community. Both grew together.

I intended to take the 4 mile round trip hike to see the waterfall but we did not get too far. Probably less than a mile in, the trail narrowed and there was a steep drop on one side to the river. I have a great fear of this type of hiking trail; I can't blame it on my age (64). I am probably braver and a better hiker now than I ever have been. We have many trails of this sort where I live, but those drop into canyons (would you rather fall into a river or a canyon?). Therefore, I stick to coastal hikes or atop the bluffs and avoid the trails in the canyons. Despite the disappointment of not being able to finish the trail walk at Lake Clementine, we still got plenty of exercise, and we found the path to descend to the river bank. What a gorgeous vantage point to view the river up close. There actually are many trails here, but I couldn't get good information about which ones might be do-able for me from the ranger. My guess is that he took a look at me and decided I couldn't do any of them.This might be true. I would recommend this to anyone, even those of average fitness level or fears of heights/falling, as you can still find things to do here and enjoy the scenery. If you are adventurous and fit, you will enjoy it even more.

Absolutely love spending time here - wonderful restaurants and cute shops. Sad that Awful Annie's relocated to another spot in Auburn, but still great choices for food and drinks. Love the old charm and quaint streets.

We have been going to antique stores for fun for years. This is the first time we have been here had a great time strolling up and down the aisles of the 40,000 square foot space. We took our time and spent 2 days looking, shopping and reminiscing. Close to Motels and Restaurants.
5. Miners Ravine Trail Loop

Reviewed By JereLakoJoy - Roseville, United States
I have lived here in Roseville 40 years now and recently started walking/biking the Ravine. I saw somewhere where it said "Loop" trail. No it's not a Loop trail and there are many places to enter or exit the Trail system. Sierra College and downtown Roseville is the beginning and or end of the Trail. 8.5 miles from one end to the other. Like I said, there are many areas to enter and exit. I saw one homeless camp area but have never encountered someone who looked homeless. Many walkers/joggers/and bikers. Area's are marked well and Trail is wide. Walkers and Joggers to the Left and Bikers to the right. GREAT place to exercise.

Knee Deep is known for their IPAs and they have a bunch of good ones. There’s always 20+ beers on tap including some other styles. Their tap room is spacious with picnic style tables inside and also a smaller area outside. Food trucks rotate but one is almost always there.

I am a huge Imperial Stout fan. Incredibly pleased and impressed walking in to find four Imperial Stout options on the beer menu. I sampled two. First up was Turon which had pleasant banana notes. The Nuterzzzz was just phenomenal. Great chocolate and peanut tones. One of the most enjoyable Imperial Stout tastings I’ve ever had. A superb tasting experience. If there were munchies available, it would be even better.
