Sallie Barber Mine is a 2.7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Breckenridge, Colorado that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from May until September.
December 30, 2020app stopped tracking me... I have no idea how far I went.
November 28, 2020Perfect for snowshoeing!!
October 22, 2020Fun quick walk. there & back in about an hour at a leisurely pace. the views from the top are worth the walk. several parking spots are available on the side of the road at the trailhead
October 21, 2020October 21, 2020I loved this trail. Wide and pretty easy. I was with pregnant friend and went slow. It was a Tuesday afternoon and probably saw 6 people and a few bikers. Great views at the top and found some small gold pieces well. :)
October 3, 2020Easy wide dirt road, steep incline for the last half to the top where the mine is located. Trafficked and everyone was friendly.
September 21, 2020September 17, 2020Great loop
September 2, 2020September 1, 2020For an “Easy” trail, I am not sure how it could be any better if you add in the “Trail of Tears” up to the Weber Gulch Trail. Very nice blend of well developed trail, mining history and clean beautiful Forrest.
August 31, 2020An excellent family walk. Interesting mine facts and great views. Lots of photos at the top.
August 12, 2020Easy trail with only a few other hikers and mountain bikers. Steady incline but not steep, easy enough for kiddos. Trail is a gravel path without much shade but wasn't a problem for us as it was an overcast day. Mine at top was interesting to explore.
August 3, 2020Great hike and beautiful scenery. Show as moderate but didn’t seem particularly difficult
July 13, 2020road was closed 1.7 miles to the trailhead and there’s a small mining tour area so i parked there, tried to walk up the road i was supposed to drive until it literally turned into a bike trail which i followed until i ended up back in the parking lot.
July 6, 2020Beautiful trail with stunning views along the way, especially at the top scenic area by the old mine. I hesitated giving 5 stars, due to buzzing power lines, but it was quite pretty! The dogs enjoyed a drink from the stream coming and going. The last two hills before the mine are a bit of a challenge for a non-altitude acclimated hiker! Would recommend!
June 20, 2020June 19, 2020As of June 19th, 2020 the road to the trailhead is still closed.
June 18, 2020Trail is a forest road and ends at what is essentially an abandoned garbage dump. The best views are obstructed by power lines.
June 7, 2020Nice quick morning hike. Not too challenging.
May 17, 2020Good hiking out there today. Most of the road is dirt/gravel and easily hikeable. Sections of snow, some where you can still squeeze over on 1/4 of the road, and some where you have to follow others' steps and get about ankle deep in the snow. Easily doable in hiking boots.
March 6, 2020This hike was a blast, we went today and the weather was perfect! The views were crystal clear, the hike is not strenuous and we hardly saw anyone. Highly recommend this hike in the winter if you want a nice hike that is fairly simple and don’t forget to bring your camera!
January 14, 2020Nice and easy trail with good views and a historic mine.
December 27, 2019It’s good for skying or hiking or even ATV
September 21, 2019Great hike with an incredible view!!
July 5, 20197/5/2019 it was a good easy hike. Pretty views and neat mining stuff at the top! Would do it again.
June 30, 2019Took us about 2 hours. Not too many views, the mine was pretty cool. Not very trafficked (thankfully), and not difficult at all. Great for a family hike.
June 25, 2019This trail is ideal for anyone who wants an easy hike through the woods. Not much elevation gain, dirt trail is currently dry. Views are okay, but besides the mine it’s mostly just forest. If you continue to the end of this trail (second part is also listed with the same name on AllTrails), you could go out and back in about 3 hrs. This trail also links up with Nightmare on Baldy, Trail of Tears (by the mine) and Weber a bit further on.
