Trail Overview

Beautiful canyon trail up to an amazing viewpoint to see in all directions. The route winds in and around multiple trees and plants along the stream of water leaving the mountains. You'll pass some grassy areas with water sources and some old buildings. There are a couple of trails off the sides of this trail where some mining has taken place. There's a rather steep climb to get to the top of the mountain that contains some loose gravel. I was able to pull a winch line to assist me to the top in the loose gravel, which is why I'm rating this a 5. That's the only feature that is difficult on this trail. The climb to the top for the views is well worth the extra effort.
