There is no direct access to B Street from Sixth Street and you will need to go around the court house on either A Street or C Street to Fourth Street where you turn and drive to B Street. This road goes toward the hills and makes some sharp turns before arriving at Crescent Street. Turn left on Crescent and drive about 2/10 of a mile to the trailhead.

Trail Description
B Street Trail, Grants Pass, Oregon This trail has practically no rocks due to the presence of decomposing granite (diorite) that has created a deep sandy soil. The trail begins with a fairly even grade but later becomes steep as it climbs the last part of the slope to the top of Dollar Mountain. At the place where the trail first becomes steep, there is a fork in the trail. The trail to the right is the one you will want to follow and switchbacks to climb a steep slope. The other trail that goes straight up the mountain is a well worn shortcut that people coming down have used to cut the switchback. After the switchback, the trail levels out briefly and then begins a steep climb to the summit. Once at the summit, you have the choice of returning down the trail or following the service road to the radio tower down the other side of the road, which will bring you back to Crescent Street and a paved road back to your parked vehicle.
