The Dragoon Gulch Trail can be found in Sonora, California. The current trail network, named after a group of dragoons (US Army cavalry soldiers) who formerly mined the area for gold, offers visitors a unique opportunity to wander through the Mother Lode's lovely oak woodlands. The 2.5-mile circle walk follows a natural creek up to a vista with a breathtaking view of Sonora's Historic Downtown and neighboring mountain ranges. The routes vary in intensity, making it ideal for both casual walkers and those looking for a challenging hike. There are two entrances, one of which is designated as an ADA access with parking and paved trails. On the trail, dogs must be on a leash.
