Directions

If you are coming to Nimbus Flat from Westbound U.S. 50, exit at Hazel Avenue and make a right onto Hazel Avenue.  Then make the very first right turn into the Nimbus Flat State Park entrance, pictured below. (When you make that right turn you should still be able to see the freeway exit ramp.  If you reach Gold Country Blvd/Nimbus Flat Rd., you’ve gone too far).  Proceed to the State Parks gate where you will have to pay $10.00 to drive into Nimbus Flat.  If you do not want to pay the $10.00 entrance fee, you can park your car at the “park and ride” area located just before the gate for free and walk from there to our meeting place.

Once you go through the state park gate, follow the road to the 3rd stop sign (there will be a “UNRC” sign there), then make a right and you will see us just ahead.  Please call Lori at 916-300-3624 if you have trouble finding us, or if you are going to be late.  We are looking forward to meeting you!
