Trail Overview

The Mackay Mine Hill Tour is really a remarkable place. A lot of work and money has been put in by a lot of people to preserve the great mining history of the town. There are 20 stops on the tour, and each has a large plaque with historical information on what you are looking at. Please respect all rules, and do not vandalize anything. Some of the trails are on are private property, so please respect the people who allow this access. You will park at an OHV staging area in town. There is also one short trail open only to 50" vehicles that crosses over the historic train trestle used by the mines long ago.

Gated private property sign at top of hill. Remaining trail much more difficult than previous track.

The trail shown on Onx does not make the loop anymore. There are locked gates at all private property boundaries.

About halfway through the trail there is a gate that us locked closed. Lots to explore but there are tons of other gates in this area that are closed.
