Trail Description
The route begins by following old logging trails and roads, then it picks up the original mule trail which meanders up the brushy mountainside staying roughly 100 to 200 meters to the left of lip of Tete Creek Valley. Above the treeline the trail traverses east facing slopes in a steady ascent to the mine site.
