| Comments: One of the most feature-filled hikes in the park...
cave, un-disturbed mining camp, deep mine shaft, off-trail hike to the
river... VERY COOL HIKE!! Have perfected this hike over 4 trials.
Added and subtracted features. the '98 hike optimized the route.
Recommend following the Horseshoe Mesa '98 hike plan. |
