Trail Overview
Goldfinger is a 1-mile out-and-back trail branching off from Dan's Creek (FS 24). The trail ascends the northeast face of Gold Mountain, ending at a small clearing a quarter-mile beyond the final fork (shown in photo 5). The route used to continue, but is now blocked by large rocks (Shown in the last photo). Taking a left at the fork takes visitors to another small clearing. Several vantage points along the trail offer north-facing views of the Sauk River valley. Goldfinger is accessible year-round.
Difficulty
Goldfinger is a single-lane gravel road with minor water damage. The road is easily passable for 2WD vehicles, though some areas may become slick or soft depending on recent rainfall. Due to limited use, visitors should bring a chainsaw for clearing windfall. Snow conditions may increase difficulty during the winter months.
