Fun trail. It gets steeper the higher you go, with a fair number of large fallen trees across the trail up there too. Followed the right canyon past the mines, and up to the top on the right, about 8836'. Great views into the top of Fletcher Canyon, of Mummy's Toe, Griffith Peak, Harris Peak, and Fletcher Peak.
May through October I usually see lots of dear on the beginning of this trail in the morning hours. This trail is a bit less traveled than the others in the immediate area. Maybe due to the parking and no actual trail head.
Multiple starting points that all lead to an old mining site. Bat habitat in the right canyon, and a year round spring on the left canyon. On old site where a cabin was located. Which was washed away in a flood. Very little remnants.
The trail wasn't marked and it was hard to tell where it started so we started where the cars were parked and went up the revine. A little difficult with the hills but wasn't bad. Not much to see at the end but overall had a fun time!
It was a decent hike. If you hike often and are use to hiking up hill then you'll be fine. In the beginning it does slope up and it levels out in some places. I did a decent job with a 2 year old in my hiker. Went all the way to first mine. Not much to see. The place where you see the sign for the mine is a nice little place to chill and have a snack. Overall, just a simple hike with a nice view on some parts but not all.
It was good hike. I had my puppy with me and he did very well jumping on the rocks up hill.
awesome trail. very cool
