Owls Roost and Chickadee Ridge

Boise's numerous urban trailheads grant lots of opportunities for quick trail runs from the city. This is one of them, beginning from Camel's Back in North End. The loop mapped here takes Owl's Roost trail through The Grove, then connects via Hulls Gulch trailhead to Chickadee Ridge. The loop offers an easy warmup and shade near the beginning, then a steeper section and good views on the ridge. This is only one of many possibilities on the interconnected trails here. Consider adding a hill climb on Camel's Back, or an extension to the loop on Kestrel and Red Cliffs trails.
