Very easy and beginner friendly trail. Starts off well maintained however does get rougher as you venture in further. Many side trails to explore off this main route. Many abandoned mine sites throughout the area with much to see. Many left over relics from the past mining operations. All in all a great easy fun trail packed with history.
