Griffin Butte Connector: When combined with the western end of the Adams Gulch Loop Trail, this makes the ever popular "Adams Gulch Loop" ride that climbs onto and traverses the hanging bench on top of the cliffs above Lane’s Trail. It can be hiked or biked in either direction and offers nice views of the Pioneer Mtns from pt. 7200. Don’t pass up the short off-trail scramble to the cliff overlook for a stunning view onto the trails below (caution near the edge!).
Because of its proximity to Ketchum, concentrated network of excellent trails, and multiple access points, Adams Gulch is easily the most popular hiking and biking destination in the Wood River Valley. There are many hiking options and the trails connect to the Fox/Chocolate/Oregon trails making it possible to link together epic mountain bike rides.
The main access is at the Adams Gulch trailhead, but there are four more access points from “Hulen Way” and “Sego Lane” in the Hulen Meadows subdivision, Lake Creek, and “Wanderer’s Way” off of Warm Springs Road. Adams Gulch is a great place to explore and have fun in a relatively benign environment. All trails except for Adams Gulch Road and Eve Gulch are closed to motorized use.
