Switzerland Trail

This beautiful trail near Gold Hill is used primarily for mountain biking but can also be a fun hike. It starts high and then is a gradual descent on a wide double-track, four-wheel-drive road that is almost passable for regular cars. There are great views of the ridgelines, valleys, and some distant peaks. Unfortunately there is some motorized use, especially on the weekends, but it is worth dodging the infrequent usage.
