Description
From the mine parking lot, follow the dirt road north until reaching the upper parking area to begin your journey up to San Luis Peak. This trail might be passable by a high clearance vehicle, though it's mostly used by off road vehicles accessing other trails in the area. The road is wide and easily navigable by foot. If your car can't make it to the upper parking area, you'll have to hike along this road to access the trail.
