Hillsboro Bypass Trail #412
The 1.5-mile Hillsboro Bypass Trail #412 departs from the Black Range Crest Trail #79 west of Hillsboro Peak and re-joins Trail #79 east of Hillsboro Peak. It provides an alternate trail that contours around the southern slope of the peak, creating a loop trail around the peak and connecting with the upper end of East Railroad Canyon Trail #130. Follow Trail #79 up the east slope to the top of the peak and descend down the west slope and back to Trail #79 to make a 3.25-mile loop over the peak.
