Trail Overview

Difficulty
Moderate. Rocky, muddy and washed out in places, very slow-going climb. Aggressive, high-clearance SUVs can do it with patience and careful tire placement.
History
Mines along the trail once supported the town of Manhattan, located east of the trail along F.S. 162 (see map for location). The town developed in the late 1880s bringing gold seekers with high hopes of striking it rich. Unfortunately, no big strikes were made and by 1915 the town was abandoned. It was finally burned down by the Forest Service in the 1950s and nothing remains today.
