Trail Overview
This trail features a lot of old mining ruins and great mountain scenery. Treasure Mountain Gold Mining Company and the Sound Democrat Mill are especially unique and well-preserved. There are some fun side roads along the way if you want to take your time to check out the area.

Rough in some spots with a few steep uphill climbs but nothing a decent 4x4 would not handle. Still worth it, beautiful views all around!

Fun trail, beautiful scenery with a lot of snow up high on the north slopes. Looks to have been very little traffic on this one so far this year. A few places a full-size truck would struggle.
