Star Gulch Trail #1016 follows Star Gulch and provides access to Star Peak and historic Star Peak Lookout.

This crossing can be challenging and dangerous during high runoff. Be advised Dry Creek Trail #1020 crosses Dry Creek ¼ mile from the trailhead. This crossing can be challenging during high runoff.
