I’m only giving this 3 stars because of google. Not bc of the trail. Google said this was good for kids. Let’s get this straight, if it’s good for kids, we’re talking 17 y/o soccer players that have played on state champ teams for 4 years straight. The trail is steep AF. My wife and I had to rest in the mine for an hour before and after making it up to Flag Rock just to cool down. Granted, our timing was off. Not wise to hike in prime daylight when it was 100 degrees outside, but we never expected the hike to take that long since we thought it was good for kids. It took us about 85 minutes to get to Flag Rock, not counting the hour rest in the cool mine. The mine saved our lives (probably literally). Take plenty of water. And when you think you have enough, take more. We ran out. It was over 4 hours round trip (with our 2 hour-long breaks in the mine). Good luck 🍀, you’re gonna need it, unless you’re said soccer player.
That being said, the trip was worth it. The mine is awesome and the views are spectacular... if you don’t die.
Rough road- not suitable for low profile vehicles. Sketchy folks on the trails carrying boltcutters and other tools. Lots of litter.
From the trailhead, take the trail to the right. The left trail fades into a water run-off path that goes directly up the mountain. It's slippery and challenging. I suspect those who didn't have a good hiking experience took that (it's obvious many people have). The trail to the right is the family - friendly switch-back that leads you to a short hike across the mountain, then up through a narrow trail to the mine. After the switchback, is the first trail marker. The hike is full-sun. Bring a flashlight if you want to explore the mine (my phone flashlight wouldn't cut it).
Firebreak road, the road that'll get you closest to the trailhead from the north, has a couple of really rough spots and a high clearance vehicle is a must.
Just hiked Patsy's mine today! 8, 7, 6, and 5 year old kids all made it! Nice day. It is pretty steep! Snacks, water bottles, and waterproof boots for the muddy cave are suggested! One kid asked where the treasure was!
Cool little cave at the top. Decent ascent at first then it levels out a bit, switchbacks the whole way, or you can choose a shortcut straight up or down which is a bit more challenging.
