Trail Overview
You'll love this amazing high-elevation drive. The route runs past the historic and enormous Virginius Mine as well as Mountain Top Mine. You'll need to remain on the trail to view them, as they are both on private land. If you're up for a side trip, visit Sidney Basin. Roads are open to all vehicles from May 16 to November 30.

Nice climb up to the top and a closed gate. Rocky in places, narrow shelf road in places, very scenic.
