Description
B&B Trail was the first trail completed following the conversion of the B&B mining claims to Town and County open space. The trail parallels French Gulch Road and is primarily doubletrack with a reasonably mellow grade. This is a perfect hike for kids. Park at the B&B Trailhead, 2 1/4 miles up French Gulch (1/4 mile past the Country Boy Mine) on the south side of the road. The trail begins at the B&B trailhead and ends at Turk's Trail. Begin from the trailhead, passing V3 Trail after 1/4 mile on the right, then Turk's Trail after another 0.1 mile and again near the end of the trail, also on the right. Take a right just before the overlook to the Reiling Dredge Boat resting in a dredge pond. Continue another half mile to a second intersection with Turk's Trail. Minnie Mine Trail, X10U8, and Turk's Trail can all be accessed from the B&B Trail. As an alternative for the kids, hike, or shuttle up French Gulch Road and return downhill to the trailhead parking lot.
