Bottle Hill

Access Description

The trail starts immediately after turning off Wentworth Springs Road, with private drives along both sides for the first quarter mile. There is very little space for staging. A good alternative starting point is the Dru Barner Camp Ground, especially for groups. There is much more room for staging, and far less opportunity to accidentally enter private property. Bottle Hill is a 9.7-mile trail managed and maintained by the US Forest Service, and designated as road 13N58 on the El Dorado National Forest, Georgetown Ranger District, Motor Vehicle Use Map. There are signs at some intersections to identify which direction to go to stay on 13N58, but none that say "Bottle Hill". The most confusing intersection is where Bottle Hill crosses Breedlove Road, which does have a 13N58 sign located at N38deg 56.784', W120deg 46.945' (38.9463889, -120.78250000).
