Hiking – Jamestown loop, up James Creek drainage to Gold Ridge, back down Slaughterhouse Gulch.

We'll start with about 5 miles of slow going up the James Creek drainage.  It's a mix of singletrack with some bushwhacking and repeated creek crossings.  Most likely, we'll have wet feet.  :-)

Once we reach Gold Ridge, we'll follow Forest Service Road 509 to the top of Slaughterhouse Gulch.  We'll hike down that lovely singletrack back to Jamestown.

Let's meet at 7:45am for a prompt 8:00am departure, in the parking lot for Fourmile Canyon Creek Trailhead (also known as the South Foothills Trailhead) at 420 Lee Hill Drive in Boulder.  It's here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/apAASnChnYfZ9B5K8

 We'll carpool to Jamestown, where we'll park across the street from the Mercantile, adjacent to the park.  We will start hiking from there immediately upon arrival, around 8:20am.
