Gans Creek Wild Area First Day Hike - Gans Creek Wild Area- First Day Hike

The terrain of the Gans Creek Wild Area will provide the challenge of a vigorous hike up and down hills but also provide grand views of the scenery from overlooks including Shooting Star Bluff. Take the route less traveled starting and ending from the Wagon Wheel Trailhead. The distance is estimated at 4 miles. There will be two creek crossings that are rocky and usually enable hikers to keep their feet dry; if the water is up, then the route will be adjusted to avoid crossing Gans Creek. Visit the Shelter Cave mid-way up on the side of a steep hill. There will be good opportunities to see birds and other wildlife. This hike is not recommended for children under 8 years of age. Not stroller accessible. Prefer no dogs. Dress for the weather and wear shoes for muddy/snowy conditions. Bring water to drink. Free, but space is limited and reservations are required. Park at Wagon Wheel Trailhead (from Grindstone Pkwy, go south on Bearfield Road until it deadends).
