This trail is rocky and narrow (i was on a motorcycle). I started early so no traffic going up but past 3 hikers on the way down. It's technically a 50inch trail but limited use and the rough nature of the trail means mainly hikers and motorcycles use it. Single track the last 300yrds to the mine at the top. Beautiful and quiet trail but be prepared to work. (it's worth it)

Great trail! Was confused whether or not the trail was open with the gate being closed but a quick call to the Ranger District confirmed it is open to motorized use even with the gate closed.
