Trail Overview

This short trail is not short on views, history or thrills. The trail is fun and narrow with no room to pass, several steep inclines with loose rocks, exposed in places, and off-camber in others. The reward is to check out some cool mines, including Water Lily Mine, which is only a short hike up a very narrow trail. Other side trails invoke the senses to explore and wander.

Super quick little trail. Tight trees, so avoid if you don't want pinstriping. Some narrow sections with big drop offs were the toughest spots. Just pay attention, take it slow and you'll be fine. Nice views.
