Trail Overview

This is a fun and scenic loop with a lot of elevation change. It crosses South Boulder Creek nine times and goes by a few old mining remnants while on this loop. The trail is fairly easy although it has had a couple of recent washouts that can be tricky and there are a couple of rocky areas.

Access Description

The easiest way is to head east from the town of Maxville past the old cabins of Princeton. After crossing the first bridge past Princeton, it will be the first trail on the right, which is Gold Hill Road #1553. Stay right all the way to the top of the ridge and a private property fence. Past this point, you will drop elevation rapidly to County Road 1503, which will eventually bring you out to South Boulder Road then Wyman Gulch Road, which can take you back towards Maxville.
