  • Attention:

    1. Construction Delay: Crawford Gulch Road is under construction and is down to one lane between Golden Gate Canyon Road and Drew Hill Road. The average wait time through the one-lane area is about 10-15 minutes during weekday construction, but we're not sure if construction will be active on Sunday.

    An alternate route from Golden Gate Canyon Road (Hwy 46) is to turn right on the SECOND Crawford Gulch Road or Drew Hill Road turnoff and follow to the White Ranch turnoff / Belcher Hill Road, which will fork to the left.

    2. Start Location: The walk from the registration area to the start is about 15 minutes (0.8 km / 90-meter climb). Please allow extra time.
