Secret Ravine is not actually a river but a somewhat seasonal creek running through southern Placer County. It’s connected to Miner’s Ravine and, eventually, to Dry Creek (formerly Linda Creek), a smaller tributary of the Sacramento River. It’s not necessary to know all this, however, to be able to enjoy a quiet morning in the shade beside the creek, listening to the water rushing over and around the rocks. When I first arrived, I was stressed after realizing I’d mistakenly brought the wrong camera; but after spending awhile down along the creek, with the spot to myself, my worries melted away and all I felt was happy to be there.
