Description
This is a more recent trail in the French Gulch area. The trail begins on the B&B Trail and ends on Sallie Barber Road. Use either the B&B trailhead 2-1/4 miles up French Gulch Road, or the Reiling Dredge trailhead 3/4 miles above B&B trailhead. From the B&B trailhead, begin on the B&B Trail passing V3 Trail on the right after 1/4 mile. Turk's Trail begins 500' after V3 on the right side of the trail. Turk's climbs east along the toe of Baldy Mountain, winding through rocky sections, smooth serpentine curves, and timber bridges. The trail passes the B&B trail again before topping out at Sallie Barber Road. Use B&B Trail, Minnie Mine, or X10U8 to create a loop back to the trailhead. Turk's Trail is great in either direction.
