Andes Rail Trail

B McGlamery

Well, I got lost? Not lost really, but I missed the cut off for the loop at the top and ended up going in a circle, which sucked. I didn’t feel like climbing back up the hill to find the fricking trail head so I cut through to find a road that eventually took me back out to Depot rd. There is no map where you park and start the trail, which could have saved me the unexpected off-grid hike. There is a map, it’s across the parking lot no where near the trail head. 🙄. Also there is no water feature on this hike. Extremely enticing stream juuust over the property line. I def did not go over there and put my feet in.

Fun walk with my wife. The entrance driveway is small, there is parking for about a few cars. Trail is marked very well, there are some muddy spots but if you pay attention there are small trails to the left around the muddy spots on your way in. Tons of historical locations, some movies used this location. There are a few historical stops with pictures and a story about the history. The first couple miles is very easy. You will come to a sign where you can hike another couple miles but it is moderate. I hike a bit with my son so I had no.problem going straight up after the sign. It is a bit Rocky but some beautiful views from above. Its mostly in the shade, not to much sun. Enjoy your walk back in history.

What a great little hike. No overlook, but some good mountain and meadow views along the rail trail, which is very level and good for smaller kids, then a lovely forest walk on the Bullet Hold Spur. More climbs on the spur: about 2.25 hours round trip for a couple of out of shape middle aged people. Surprisingly not crowded on a late Saturday morning. Pull into the parking area off depot road: the lot is not visible from the road.
