#1019 Hamilton Gulch Trailhead

Hamilton Gulch Trail #1019 follows Hamilton Gulch for short ways then progresses upslope until the trail ends approximately 1 mile to the northeast of Billiard Table Mountain (6622’).  Some adventurous hikers proceed up to Billiard Table and the ridgeline out to Star Peak. No stream crossings. Be advised Dry Creek Trail #1020 crosses Dry Creek ¼ mile from the trailhead.  This crossing can be challenging during high runoff.
