Although this trail is relatively easy, it will provide a fun day away from the crowds. The East Tintic Mountains were home to some of the richest silver mines in the west. After a short period of mining, minimal findings combined with no income led to the closure of the mines. This area is very rich in history, from the mines to the Pony Express route. Eureka, the town just south of the mountains, is still a small community with some very cool historical buildings.
