About This Trail

Imported description

This beautiful loop trail has amazing views of Clear Creek Canyon, and springtime is just as beautiful with wild flowers. The trail is in the open grassland and oak woodlands. It's important that the openness reduces the potential for startling other trail users. Evidence of the earliest placer gold mining can be found in California. The natural recovery of gold mining features was allowed because it was over quickly. If you can trace the route of the ditch or find an old cabin site, then you have found something.
