Trail Overview
This is a spur off the popular Hancock Pass, before the town of Hancock. This trail will take you past the Mary Murphy tram towers to some mining structures at the trams lower and midpoint terminus. From there you can continue up to Pomeroy Lake, or take a short spur to the Mary Murphy to see the many mines served by the tram. The difficult section is on the way to the lake. Dispersed camping is available above the tree line at the lake.
