    Tips

    July 31, 2023

    Stevens Trail is a historic route listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and it originally served as a toll road for miners traveling between Iowa Hill and Colfax. Rediscovered in 1969 by a boy scout named Eric Kiel, who went on to re-chart the path as part of his scouting project.

    The trail has wonderful views and a cave along the way, great for a mid hike break. There's a mix of shaded and exposed sections so be sure to take plenty of water and avoid the hottest part of the day if you're here during summer.
