Nearby Hike Ideas
For those of you looking for great loop hikes near town, here are some approximate distances:
From the Midland Stop, take Camp Elevation to the intersection with South Broken Boyfriend: this is about 2 miles. Then, take South BB 1.1 miles north to the intersection with North Broken Boyfriend.
From that junction, you can head up Midland Hill, which is only about 1.4 miles, but 1000 vertical!
An easier route would take you further north on North Broken Boyfriend for about 1.5 miles. That will bring you out to CR 304, almost far enough north that it's worth a side trip to see the old foundations of the once-amazing tressel over Hop Gulch.
There are lots shorter loops using South Trail, Whipple Trail, North Trail, and Bridge to Bridge Trail.
One of our favorite short loops simply goes up one side of the river and back down the other side of the river, literally from bridge to bridge.
These trails are all 99% dry and in good shape. Tom and Karen report that Django and Fistful of Dollars are also dry and in great shape.
No matter which loop you take, this is what you see all the time...!!
If you take a hike, send me some text and pictures, and I'll get it posted on here!!
Send along some selfies, folks, and we'll get those posted as well.
We'll start:
Our best wishes to all of you...stay healthy for future hiking trips!
