About This Trail

Prospector’s Bluff is a small knob that offers great views of the surrounding area. The trail is an old mining road and is a great snowshoe destination. You get nice views of Tachek and Matzehtzel Mountains.

The old road has grown in with heavy Alder, so plan to bring a saw, machete or pruners to help clear the trail as you use it. If everyone helped one little bit at a time, the trail will be looking good in no time.

Cell service has partial coverage
