The Silver Leaf Mine winds up a narrow canyon, leading users to an old structure. Calling this a bumpy trail is an understatement. This difficult, rocky, and likely wet trail is very demanding for such a short distance, as you are driving in a drainage for snowmelt most of the time. Consistent 6-8 inch round rocks plaster the trail with occasional rocks in the 1-2 foot range. The wet nature of the trail early in the year adds to the difficulty. The trail once extended beyond the mine, but a rockfall has made the trail impassable to full-size vehicles. No campsites are along this trail, but nearby Cabin Canyon has multiple dispersed options.
