Confirmed from Gold Hill Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly hiking area featuring a well-maintained trail with views and a restroom.
What runners say about Gold Hill Trailhead
“Well kept trail with a little parking lot and toilet at the trailhead.”
“Used it as a training hike in preparation for the Grand Canyon (did it twice through in 6hrs) It had beautiful views.”
Great trailhead! A decent amount of parking and a restroom right as you start out (which is good since it is a long hike to the top). Trail is well maintained.
Gold Hill North Trail is a 5.6 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Sagle, Idaho that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from May until September. Dogs are also able to use. Quite a blast on a mountain bike.
Awesome hike, but not super easy. It is 3 miles up and 3 miles back. The incline is over 1000 feet, but totally doable. Bring water and a good mindset, the view is well worth it.
Great trail. Saw lots of wildlife up there. Nice lookout at the top. 5 miles out and back. Well developed trail lots of switchbacks. Easy.
