Trail Overview

This is a fairly easy Jeep trail but well worth doing, especially if combined with Browns-Breakneck. A connector between the two trails is included in this track. Fourmile Creek Road is a wide-graded county road right to the end. Many people drive to the end and hike into the mountains. The road to Peerless Mine turns off a mile before the end of Fourmile Creek Road. Peerless Mine Road is mostly an easy road all the way to the mine. A couple of climbs may require 4WD but are not difficult enough to rate it a 4. There is a big snow drift blocking the main road until very late in the summer. This track shows both the main road and the easiest bypass around the drift. There is a bypass closer to the drift, but it is not shown on the track. A bypass is also shown around a less persistent drift higher up on the trail.

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.
