Trail Overview

This is a scenic and varied Jeep trail close to Buena Vista. Coal was once mined in the area, and that is what gives the trail its strange name.The track winds its way through open rangeland and parts of the trail are lightly forested. Don't expect too much of a challenge on this trail, but a scenic cruise.
