Citizens Trail #143: A continuation of Lane’s Trail that follows mellow benches through tall grass and lush spring wildflowers.
You can access the Citizens Trail #143 from the Lane's Trail portion of Trail #316, or from the lower reaches of the Griffin Butte Connector Trail #839. The Sunnyside-Lane's Trail can be accessed from the Adams Gulch Trailhead. To get to the trailhead follow the bike path or Highway 75 north to Adams Gulch Road. This intersection is about 0.7 miles north of the stoplight intersection of Hwy 75 and Saddle Road in Ketchum. Follow Adams Gulch Roads west as it crossed the Big Wood River and twists and turns through the neighborhood to a stop sign. Turn left at the stop sign and continue on the road to its end at the trailhead.
