Need to Know

Multiple restrooms available in South Pass City, but none right by either trailhead. Access is free.

Description

The western trailhead connects to Flood and Hindle Trail. The trail begins with a steep incline onto sagebrush prairie. The trail goes through a gate before descending done into a thick aspen grove. The trail climbs steeply out of the aspen grove. The next highlight is the Cuba Mine shack, just a few meters off the main trail to the north. The trail heads through another gate, then crosses the main dirt road into South Pass City. The trail ascends into another, smaller aspen grave, then descends the final hillside down into the historic site grounds.

The upper part of the trail is dotted with old mine claims. Most of the trail is very exposed to the wind and rain if an afternoon thunderstorm comes though.
