Description
From the Keeneys Creek Rail Trail Parking Area, head north along the trail, climbing gently to the junction with the Town Loop Connector Trail. Take the Town Loop Connector Trail west to the junction with the Tipple Trail. Hike along the Tipple Trail, taking in !Nuttallburg's rich mining history. From here, head west along the Seldom Seen Trail for a quick out-and-back to the crumbling remains of building foundations that once supported the houses of !Nuttallburg employees and their families. Continue north along the tipple trail, passing more historic remains before taking the trail's northern fork onto the Town Loop Trail. Follow the Town Loop Trail for a glimpse into community life at Nuttallburg during the turn of the century. Along the trail, note the collapsing foundations of what once were schools, churches, and family homes. If so inclined, take time to read the numerous trail-side displays explaining the activities of daily life in this mining hub when the town was at its peak. After enjoying the Town Loop Trail, head north along the Town Loop Connector Trail until the junction with the Keeneys Creek Rail Trail. Follow the Keeneys Creek Rail Trail east from the junction, descending gently toward the parking area.
