From Larkspur Trail

forest for a half mile before emerging into several small
meadows. The trail climbs continuously to the top of Hamilton
Mesa. To continue on Bob Grounds Trail 270, turn north on
the Hamilton Mesa Trail for about 100 feet and then continue
east on the Bob Grounds Trail. The trail contours along a
hillside and then drops steeply down to the Rio Valdez and
the junction with the Valdez Trail
224. Upon reaching the Rio Valdez, proceed upstream about
a quarter mile to locate the remaining section of the Bob
Grounds Trail. The trail crosses to the east side of the Rio
Valdez and begins a mile long steep, rocky, eroded ascent
up the ridge to the trail's end with Bordo
del Medio Trail 252.
