Features Views

Four miles of this trail are along the Gospel-Hump Wilderness Boundary. It does not go into the Wilderness but is literally the boundary. Keep your bike off the south side of the trail if you stop for a break or decide to walk it.

Trailhead is located off Hungry Ridge Road #309A and runs all the way to Sourdough Peak.

Climb just one mile to Camp Creek Road #9325. The trail merges with the road for 0.5 miles before skipping a well-designed switchback in favor of a hard climb. Climb 2.25 miles, crossing Camp Creek Road #9325 on a steady climb to the ridge and the junction of Marble Point Trail #328. This is also a northwest point of the Gospel-Hump Wilderness boundary. The trail and Wilderness Boundary are one and the same for the next four miles down into Gospel Creek.

Keeping that in mind, do not stray south from the trail and for sure park on the north side when taking a break. Rangers can be less than pleasant when they feel like having a power trip so best not to give them anything to get hung upon. Also of note, Gospel Creek Trail #305 drops off into the Wilderness at about 2.5 miles east of Marble Point Trail #328 junction.

From the Gospel Creek crossing, you'll immediately cross Johns Creek as well. At this point, the trail leaves the Wilderness Boundary and starts a steep two-mile climb up out of Johns Creek drainage to the junction of Snoose Creek Trail #407.

Next, go four miles heading for a saddle and out around a ridge to the next saddle before climbing to the Peak of Sourdough Peak.
