Timber Gulch Trail

04/22/17

This is not a trail that is marked and as such makes it a bit hard to find. It's a great hike, however, with lots of trails, human and game, to follow. Most trails in Leslie Gulch start out in a riverbed, so it is best to go in late spring so the trail isn't covered in water in the beginning. Make sure to bring water and good shoes for climbing rocks if you are going to go farther into the canyon!

Camp at Leslie Gulch

04/22/17

I would not recommend camping in the designated camping grounds if you are looking for more of a wilderness experience. The campground is great for an RV but not for a tent. The many trails off the main road are great for hiking up into the canyons. You are surrounded by incredible scenery stemming from the huge volcanic rock formations that characterize this area. It would be an easy day hike up into the canyons for a night under the stars--away from the noise and the lights of the city. Leslie Gulch is only an hour and a half from Caldwell which makes it a great place to get into the countryside on the weekends without having to drive too far. Just a gorgeous place to be!
