Difficulty

Difficult: Condition of trail varies greatly depending on recent storms. At times it may be impassable until volunteers repair it. Prepare for a narrow, rocky trail, very tippy in spots. We don't recommend this trail for stock SUVs.

History

All we know about Harry Briggs is that he lived here in the 1930s and was in charge of surrounding mining operations. A picture of him hangs in Briggs Cabin. Purportedly, the cabins are in better shape today then when he lived there. The cabins are maintained by volunteers of 'Friends of Briggs Camp.' Please follow posted rules. Maximum stay 4 days. Read and follow hantavirus advisories posted at cabins.
