Hit the Road on the Johnny Cash Trail
Take the whole family out for some fresh air and music history on the Johnny Cash Trail in Folsom, CA.

The trail is a long-time member of the GROW family, and they’re currently fundraising to install a public art experience celebrating the history of Johnny Cash along the trail.
Practice Your Moves at the Auburn Bike Park
GROW loves supporting the Auburn Bike Park, which opened in the summer of 2020. This family-friendly bike park sits on nine acres overlooking the scenic American River Canyon and offers seven dirt trails and a pump track for riders of a variety of ages and skill levels.
