Trail Overview

This trail is mostly gravel with rocky sections. It does get narrow in spots, and it takes you on a breathtaking shelf road with amazing views of the valley below, ending at an old abandoned mine with equipment still standing. This trail can be traveled from spring to late fall depending on early season snow levels. This is also a great hiking adventure.
