Trail Overview
If you are looking for a short and easy dirt road with lots of outdoor activities, Ruins & Gold Pans offers just that. The start of this dirt road is just off of Walker Road and is before Lynx Lake. The road is a semi-maintained dirt road with washboards, small bumps, and little precipitation run-off ruts. The only hill is a small descent towards Lynx Creek. After this hill, you will pass a parking area for gold panning which is a day-use area. At the end of this road is another parking area for Salida Gorge which is a 50-inch motorized trail and a hiking trail.
