The trail to peerless mine was fairly easy, some steep loose rock areas. However, you cannot drive unlicensed atv/ohv on county road 18 despite OnX making it appear you can. There is no real staging area to unload for the peerless mine trail either.

Despite reports that the 603 is closed, it is not. There is new signage warning you of dangers, stay on the road, only for recreation, etc. etc. There is NO closed signage or gate obstructing this public road.
