The 8th Street Trailhead provides visitors with trail access to a motorized trail (Trail #4 Motorcycle Trail), several non-motorized trails (#31 Corrals, #29 Lower Hulls Gulch, #28 Crestline, and #24 Sidewinder), and a pedestrian only trail (#0 Hulls Gulch Interpretive Trail) in the Boise Foothills. The facilities include two parking areas with room for vehicles with trailers, trash receptacles, OHV loading ramps, and a vault toilet. The location also offers sweeping views of downtown Boise, the Treasure Valley, and the Owyhee Mountains to the south.
