The Van Epps Loop Trail is a short (.8 mile) loop trail off of the main Van Epps Trail. If you are traveling downhill on the Van Epps Trail you will see the trail on your left. A sign here states this as the "Esmerelda Trail" There will quickly be a fork in the trail. Stay to the right for the Van Epps Loop Trail. Taking the left fork dead ends at what the maps show to be a mine, although we did not follow the trail to confirm this. If you are running the Van Epps trail uphill, you will find the 4W303 trail on the right at approximately 2.62 miles in on the Van Epps Trail.
