  • Description:
    • The trailhead for Gold Hill is located 4.8 miles up Bottle Bay Road just southeast of Sandpoint (ID).  Gold Hill is the knoll east of the Long Bridge as you are coming north into Sandpoint.  We were all working in Sandpoint (ID) for the week, and since I had lived there for four years, I ended up with the title of social coordinator for the evening.  There is still a considerable amount of snow in the upper Selkirks so because of this and our limited time in the evenings, we decided to go to the top of Gold Hill for some exercise and the views of Sandpoint.  After this, we were off to Eichardt's for dinner and a pint.
