Just west of Twin Lakes, off the road to Aspen. A short trail that can be combined with Lost Canyon to make a longer day. The left spur goes to a building remaining from the Gordon Mine. The right spur has great views from remnants of the Bengal Tiger Mine.

This was a 4x4 Low trail, but it was pretty easy. We’re not newbs, but we’re definitely not experts. We had no problems in a stock rental Wrangler with street tires (except that one was punctured, and we had to change it on the trail. If you make it up to the valley where the mine is, you get the incredible views.

Open to Gordon mine. The right firk to the longer trail is obstructed by a approx 8 inch tree across road .

Original 3/10 rating is likely inadequate. It’s impassable without 4x4 and dedicated Offroad tires and equipment. We went up a couple of turns then had to reverse out. I was unable to pass using my SUV/truck beyond the second major turn, as it would have bottomed out.
