Kessler Peak North Route

When you cross the bridge on the Donut Falls Trail, head over to the road. The trail is unmarked and heads off to the west. It can be a bit difficult to see. About 3/4 of the way up the trail you'll run into an old mine with the remnants of a cabin. Then again near the top is a second mine shaft just off the trail. The second mine shaft is really interesting. After a short down climb you can follow the mine shaft through the mountain and emerge on the other side. From the top of the trail you get amazing views of a number of the peaks around you. This trail is steep and the climb is unrelenting.
