Dadd Gulch Trail
The trail follows a stream and an old stock trail up the gulch for about two miles before leaving the stream and passing through woods and meadows. A stock watering tank may be seen on the left just above the meadow. The upper portion of trail provides several panoramic vistas. The trail ends at Salt Cabin Road, a forest road that loops north off Crown Point Road (Forest Road #139). This is a multiple use trail and is a favorite of mountain bikers and horseback riders as well as hikers and backpackers.
