HOW TO GET THERE

From Yolo County, Woodland and Davis, take Highway 16 up the Capay Valley. Once you pass the town of Rumsey, you begin to enter the Cache Creek Canyon. The road will narrow and you will be driving with the creek on one side and the canyon walls on the other. Continue on Highway 16 until you’re just about 1 mile south of where it connects to Highway 20. The large sign for Cowboy Camp will be on your left. Vehicles must stay on the gravel areas of the parking lot.

THE HIKE ITSELF

Cowboy Camp is one of the easiest accessible trailhead for trails in the Bear Creek Unit of the Cache Creek Management Area. From the campground, head south, parallel to Bear Creek. After about 0.75 miles, cross Bear Creek and continue on the trails to either Craig Canyon or Thompson Canyon. These will intersect with other trails along the way.
