The West Martis Creek Trail at Northstar California starts at the bottom of the dog-friendly Big Springs Gondola.
This 1.5 mile trail is a great easy/beginner introduction to the deep forest just outside of the village. The gently meandering path is a great option for those short on time.
Be sure to pick up a self-guided nature hike brochure at the trail head for details about wildlife and vegetation.
