Two Brothers Road

Trail Overview

Two Brothers Road is a simple dirt road with scenic views, lots of leftover mining equipment as well as sealed mine shafts littering the road, and, depending on the time of year, wash-boarding so bad your fillings will rattle out. At the north end of the road, concrete briefly interrupts the dirt before you can continue along FS 279 all the way up to Central City. The road is fairly easy going aside from the aforementioned wash-boarding, and it can be accomplished with a 2WD family sedan as long as it's dry. In wet conditions, 4WD or nicer tires will suffice. Light inclines, light declines, and just a nice drive if you want to take a back road from Idaho Springs to Central City. Careful during the winter, as there is no maintenance or plowing during the winter months.
