Foresthill Divide Loop Trail
1 review for Foresthill Divide Loop Trail
To get to this trail, take 80 to Foresthill and go straight. The road crosses Foresthill bridge, which, according to the posted sign, is the tallest bridge in California. Continue on curvaceous Foresthill Rd for approximately 10 miles. On your left you will see a long parking area. The trail is clearly marked, and begins with a picnic area and porta-potty. This trail is shared by hikers and mountain bikers. Dogs on leash are welcome. The loop is 9.75 miles and overlooks a beautiful canyon (or is it a divide?). At one point, the kid and I stopped and listened, enjoying the silence. After a couple of minutes of complete silence, a mountain biker came around the corner and narrowly missed us. He apologized for going too fast, and we forgive him, since my kid and dog were extremely slow to move out of the way. People would pass us about every 4-5 minutes. Half were on bikes and half on foot. So the trail was not too crowded, but not desolate enough to feel creepy for a woman walking with just her kid and non-intimidating dog. The scenery was very pretty and unmarred by civilization, and the ground was soft and dry. We didn't do the whole loop today, but we will definitely head back and do it one day soon.
