Old Mine

Easy trail with beautiful views. Not too busy on a Friday. Fall colors were fantastic.

Easy with epic camp sites.

we started the trail of cheat bridge road. you'll cross an old bridge then have a few water holes 12"+ deep and a short rocky, washed out climb to join the rest of fsr 233. to avoid the water and rocky section come in white top road. fsr 233 follows the river and is graded gravel with potholes scattered throughout. there are plenty of dispersed campsites right on the river. continue onto fsr 227 at the fork and start heading up the mountain. there are many dispersed campspots near mower basin trailhead and scattered along fsr 227. towards the end of the route make sure to go up to the Barton knob lookout for the best view of the surrounding area. fsr 227 ends at highway 250
