Goldensides trail is one of the quickest ways to view the Demster Highway and surrounding area from the summit of a mountain. It offers a tremendous view and is close to the Tombstone campsite.
Distance: 4 km
Elevation Gain: 507 m (1663 ft)
Time: 3.5 hours
Take the first right (travelling north) after the Tombstone Mountain Viewpoint pullout at kilometer 74. Follow the road all the way to the microwave tower. The trailhead is signed.
From the signed trailhead, follow the distinct trail as it leads you to the base of the mountain. You will be heading up the scree slope which can be slippery if it has been raining.
At the summit, you can wander around the small ridge and get a great view in all directions. Follow the same path back down.
