Trail Overview
The road to Stoddard Mine is a short trail but very steep in areas. The beginning of this trail starts off of Copper Road Connector and quickly starts to climb through junipers. As you are passing through the junipers, the trail starts to traverse sharply uphill. The hill climb will turn to the left and you will continue to climb towards the ending point. The final stretch of this trail is an abrupt switch-back to your right. From there, you will end at a flat area that is remanence of the historical mine. This is a great place to get out of your rig and explore.
