Trail Overview
This trail runs through Monarch Canyon and passes a historic mine that was established in the 1870s. Most of the trail is an easy two-track trail, with a couple of small rocky sections that may be a challenge for low-clearance vehicles. A spur trail runs up along the cliffside and goes to some of the historic mining remains. The trail is a narrow shelf road, so it would not be recommended for wider vehicles or those afraid of heights.
