Location
The Sleepy Hollow trailhead shares Road 28 with the Mount Zion trailhead, which is two miles north of Bon Jon Pass.
The trail starts downhill immediately on an old road, turning gradually into new trail. Eventually, hikers pops out onto a more secluded route that winds down to Gold Creek.
From the Gold Creek crossing the trail continues uphill in a westerly direction on an old road. After a mile it rounds the nose of the ridge and turns south, descending a bit. There are good views into the Upper Dungeness drainage from here. After this viewpoint, maintenance has apparently ceased. The alder closes in and there are blackberry bushes to contend with as well.
