Gold Hill Loop

For hikers looking for a solid cardio challenge-this is your hike. This steep (500 ft ascent in first 0.5 mile) begins at the base of Gold Hill. We'll start on the Gold Hill Grade fire road, then veer off onto the outdoor stair master. The climb is fairly vertical and may require use of your hands. Once we're off the stairmaster, we continue up to the radio tower where we'll take in the beautiful bay views. The Gold Hill Grade fire road takes us down. No facilities and shoes with good grip highly recommended. We'll meet at the end of Locust Ave./Gold Hill Grade gate. 2.4 miles. 830 ft elevation gain
