Overview

The Dakota Hill Spur trail offers a thrilling and brief route from Moon Gulch to Dakota Hill. It features challenging, rocky uphill climbs, off-camber turns, rocky obstacles, and vast, open hillsides with breathtaking views. The trail has a fascinating mining heritage that it shares with other nearby trails. Although no structures remain, you can envision the ore wagons traversing the hills to and from the mines. This trail is an excellent choice for accessing or leaving the Dakota Hill trail network.
