Difficulty

Easy. Very narrow most of the way with one very steep downhill section. Lots of undulations. Can become rutted after heavy rainstorms.

History

Champion Mine was in operation until about 1940. The main shaft was 250 ft. deep with cross-cut shafts 80 to 150 ft. long. The mine produced primarily gold and silver. Several buildings, including an assay office, boarding house, blacksmith shop, pump house and president's cottage, made up a small company town called Phoenix. The 10-stamp press at the mill is worth the hike.

Main camping loop is open and is still a fun easy ride, but the OHV high clearance vehicle trail tucked in the back has its gate closed. You can probably sneak by on dirt bikes or mountain bikes

The south entrance of this trail is open and the north entrance of this trailer is open, but there is still a locked gate in the middle of the trail that was rather alarming. it is possible if you are clever with your routing through some trees and I drove from south to north complete with no issues besides that
