Pains Mountain Road

This is a spur of a spur off the popular Argentine Pass trail. This route points you back towards the mouth of the valley. Easy driving and open at the beginning. The trail then loses elevation through narrow switchbacks. The end of this route is as far as you can drive in an SUV or a SxS, as the trail has become overgrown and only allows for mountain/dirt bike or foot traffic to the historical end. The last 200 yards are tight and off-camber and offer no place to turn around. Proceed with caution. There are multiple mine remnants. Make sure to adhere to closed road signs.
