Route Description for Japanese Gulch Loop
The Japaense Gulch Loop is a unique trail that follows a train line before returning back through a green forest. It’s not he best pick for small children due to the narrow nature of the train section of the path, but you could just use the forested side if you wanted.
Begin from the parking area, heading down along the trail that runs near the train line. This is a bit of a narrow spot. The loop follows this, running alongside a forest, for the first half. On the trip back, you’ll hike through the forest, which is dense and very pretty. Enjoy this section as you return to the trailhead. There are lots of connecting trails if you want to keep exploring further.
