Upper Bidwell Park Loop - South Side
An extended version of the Guardian Trail-Bloody Pin-Annie Bidwell Trail Loop, the Upper Bidwell Park Loop - South Side takes you along Upper Bidwell Park’s southern rim and multiple popular trails—Annie Bidwell Trail, Guardian Trail, and 10 Mile House Trail—for an epic and challenging exploration of Upper Bidwell Park. You’ll be rewarded with equally epic views and the chance to discover something new in trails you’ve previously traversed on their own or in a different combination. After all, the trails in Upper Bidwell Park are too good to hike just once. For this loop, start north at the Green Gate near Ten Mile House Road.
