Star Gulch Trail #1016 follows Star Gulch and provides access to Star Peak and historic Star Peak Lookout. Pilick Ridge Trail #1036 and Big Eddy Trail #998 take off from Star Peak providing loop opportunities.    The trail crosses Star Gulch just up the trail from the junction with Dry Creek Trail #1020.  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.
