This trail starts at the Animus Forks Ghost Town, and the start of the famous Alpine Loops. This is a remote and beautiful drive that passes by many old mining buildings. Make time to stop for the outstanding vistas. This trail is not passable in the winter.

A fair amount of traffic but nothing bad. I wouldn't want to run it without low-range 4x4. Otherwise clear and dry. Great scenery!
