Stevens Trail

This trail is very scenic and rich in history - it is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Built by Truman Allen Stevens, it was used as a toll road for miners that needed to get from the mining town of lowa Hill to the railroad town of Colfax. The trail was forgotten but then rediscovered in 1969 by a boy scout, Eric Kiel, and re-charted as part of his scouting project.
Today it is maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.
Make sure to bring shade, water and good hiking shoes .
Trail is 7.7 miles out and back and under 1600 feet of elevation gain. Is on the HARD category so make sure you can do it before signing up.
Carpooling is recommended and lunch is totally optional.
