Lead Mine Trail

Lead Mine is an easy 1.7-mile out and back spur off of the main Langhor trail. The road is level, and the driving surface is mostly hard dirt with a few ruts and protruding rocks. This side of Hyalite Canyon does not get much sun, so the trail can have large mud puddles even days after the rain passes through. There are several clearings adjacent to the road, but there is posted signage that no overnight camping is allowed on this trail. One clearing overlooks a meadow where deer and other wildlife can sometimes be spotted, while the rest look across the mountains on the other side of the canyon. About halfway up, there is an optional climb up to what appears to be a popular shooting spot.
