Help for a visitor, where to go?

So I'll be up in Sacramento around New Years, and I'll have the family and the Rhino with me, where should I take them for a nice 1 day adventure?

I like forests, so I'm guessing the foothills?

Georgetown? But it looks like it's mostly too narrow.

Foresthill? Closed for the season, I think?

Mammoth Bar?

Indian Springs? Maybe too much snow above 5000 feet?

I'd love some suggestions, thanks!

Hi, thanks,

Foresthill is closed for the season, can you give me some more detail about dutch flat or cisco grove, such as is there too much snow, is it open in winter, and exactly what trail to run and maybe the coordinated for where to start? Thanks.

Sorry for the questions, but it's always a good idea to pick a local's brain if you're just wanting to show up and ride...

dutch flat diggins, google dutch flat general store. little road next to store leads to the bear river, across river and up the mountain to lowell hill road, from here you can get to grass valley and beyond. mostly a locals spot, so be respectful. pack it in , pack it out. take nothing but pivs!! enjoy.
Cisco grove exit off I-80 park below snow park and ride up. extensive trails. small amount of snow on ground.
