Trail Overview
The first 21 miles are county-maintained gravel, the next 3.1 miles can be rough at times especially when wet, not recommended. 2WD high clearance most of the way, some fairly uneven areas but we did it all in 2WD in a Jeep. A little climb to the actual mine ruins, but doable in 2WD.
