| The Old Foresthill Road predates the building of the Foresthill Bridge that now spans the North Fork of the American River just outside of Auburn. It serves as a good shortcut between the River crossing area (access to the Lower Quarry Vetcheck, Highway 49 Crossing and No Hands Bridge) and the Foresthill Divide Road. |
| Old Foresthill Road is also a better route to take when pulling a three horse (or larger) rig between Auburn and the River Crossing area. The more "direct" Highway 49 route is steep (8% grades in some places), has sharp corners and heavy traffic. |
