| the hike |
Starting at the Lost Goldmine parking lot, we hike east on the Lost Goldmine
Trail. As we approach the mountain, we will veer off to the north and begin our ascent. The
last time I was there we found a well-marked route up to the top. The ascent is a relatively
gentle, no scrambling involved. We will return by the same route. Depending on the weather,
we may climb Old Turk's Head Mtn on the return trip.
