Hooper Hill Trailhead

This is a great hike if you're looking to get in shape or if you're trying to get a view of the lake.

This trailhead looks like a dirt turnout from Caliente Bodfish Rd (County Rd 483). The trailhead is located at lat/long coordinates 35.569589,-118.506856. If you copy and paste those coordinates into Google Maps, it will give you the exact location.To start the hike, you have to go past a barbed wire fence gate and head north up a steep incline to the ridge. Once on the ridge, walk back south to the summit (located at 35.567219, -118.512666). It is a short hike (~2 miles) with an elevation gain of 670 feet. This is a great little hike that is suitable for beginners and children or anyone looking to get out for a quick morning hike.

So there will be mixed reviews on this trail... there is one trail that starts at the top of the road before you go into Havilah/Caliente. This one is more leisurely. The other starts off of Borrel road and is the PT hike hill of Breckenridge Hotshots. It is a long mentally taxing hike hill, but a great workout.
