Because of the mild seasonal temperatures and the close proximity of natural, forested open space surrounding the City of Auburn, the opportunity for outdoor recreation is outstanding. The confluence of the North Fork and Middle Fork American River is literally at the city's back door. The wilderness of the Auburn State Recreation Area and especially the American River Canyon offers an abundance of outdoor experiences--horseback riding trails, challenging running trails, scenic trail hiking, nature trail hikes guided by the Canyon Keepers, Audubon Outings with Protect American River Canyons (PARC), white water rafting and kayaking, lake boating, river and lake fishing, mountain biking, and camping. Auburn is home to the Western States Trail Foundation that prides itself in organizing the grueling Western States Endurance Run/UltraMarathon and the equally tough Western States Endurance Ride/Tevis Cup each year.
