Gold Venture Loop is a 44-mile out-and-back hike in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, on the Austin-Tonopah Ranger District. It is a hard route, with a total elevation gain of 3,629 feet, and it climbs from a low point of 6,129 feet to a high point of 8,813 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail has a natural surface. The trail is open year round, and it is open to biking. Because it is a long, steep route, plan for a full day or more and bring supplies for the whole trip. Castle Loop is about a mile away, and Cahill Canyon Run is about 1.3 miles away. Pony Canyon Downhill is about 1.8 miles off, and Bob Scott Campground is about 4.6 miles away.
