Trail Overview
This short offshoot from Ophir Pass leads to a very small campsite next to a river. There are two rock fire rings in the area. If you cross the river, the trail splits left or right. Right leads to nowhere. Left will lead you to the base of an old mine area, but the trail does narrow significantly more. The trail down to the camp spot has some steepness to it. In the early season or after a rainstorm, there could be water on the trail. Not maintained during snow months. Low clearance vehicles are not recommended.
