Trail Overview

Another short spur to an interesting mine site off Deer Creek Road. Unfortunately, the building has collapsed but the truck which is the main attraction is still clearly rolled off the edge of the road. There are several more unlabeled mines and sites that can be explored on foot in this area.

Difficulty

Rocky and often flowing as a stream in the spring and mid summer.
