Hiking – Section 16 Trailhead

We will be hiking up Bear Creek Canyon / High Drive and then trail 666. This should be short, but a great workout due to the elevation gain. We might make it to Josephine Falls at the end of 666.

This canyon usually requires spikes this time of year, but it is clear when I checked.

We will meet at 8:30 AM on Wednesday April 1st, 2026.

Meet at the end of Bear Creek road where it intersects Gold Camp road, by the old maintainers cabin. https://maps.app.goo.gl/NCizvsvvdJCB2sZ57

It is a close walk to the Section 16 trailhead, but there is close parking here.

Phone service is spotty here, so ask me before you go if you don't know where this is.
